For this same reasons, you might want to view files which was Hidden by Default (the phone's manufacturer) or a third party (some body that had handled the phone earlier).

Surely, there are many ways of doing this, though, I haven't done researches to find out a better way of Hiding  files on your Symbian OS phone, this one seems to be the easiest for anybody to use, and has proven to be best if you won't be using an App Locker which is an entirely different way of also keeping your stuffs Personal, the little "prob" about it is that it requires your password every now and then before you can open and use the Locked/hidden Applications.
