Even if you hide the folder with system properties then it too will show up as usual folder.
So what is the solution for this problem?

How to Hide files on Android Phone

Basically all you need to do is follow this rule.
"Android respects folders and files whose names start with a (.) Dot."

For eg, a usual folder will be like this "Any Stupid Folder" and a hidden folder will be ".Any Stupid Folder"
