There's a couple ". Folder Name" folders I need to access from my PC but I can't see them. How to I make it so I can see them?

Anybody??

If I rename the folder from within the phone and remove the ". ", then I can see it in Windows Explorer.

Then if I rename it from within Windows Explorer and add the ". " back in, I can STILL see it!

But when I unplug the phone from the PC and plug it back in, I can't see that folder again unless I remove the ". " again using the phone's File Manager...
