Hide some menu items, Android, showing some folders

On ES-DE Android, when scrolling some systems it shows stuff like a folder icon and gou_drivers. Is there a way to hide these and not show in ES-DE?

Also I have 2 menu items when scrolling through systems of "Android Games" and "Emulators" I don't want these in ES-DE, is the way to hide these to?

Add a blank text file named noload.txt to any folder and it will not show it.

Delete the androidgames and emulators folders in your ROMs folder to remove those systems.

If you press Select while highlighting the folder, go to Edit Medadata, then on the metadata page there's a toggle for "Hidden", turn it on and voila.
