I am creating a program to look at the documents folder and copy the contents of that folder. I am getting folders that dont exist, that are hidden and have nothing in them. I had to put a Try/catch to make the program run.

As you can see from this picture.. My Music and My Videos isnt in the Documents Folder.
I have been trying to write code to not look at hidden files or exclude hidden files. no luck
I could write code to delete empty folders when i am done.
Code:
 Public Sub CopyFavoritesFolder(ByVal sourcePath As String, ByVal destinationPath As String)

        Dim sourceDirectoryInfo As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(sourcePath)

        ' If the destination folder don't exist then create it
        If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(destinationPath) Then
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(destinationPath)
        End If
        Dim fileSystemInfo As System.IO.FileSystemInfo
        For Each fileSystemInfo In sourceDirectoryInfo.GetFileSystemInfos
            Dim destinationFileName As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(destinationPath, fileSystemInfo.Name)

            ' Now check whether its a file or a folder and take action accordingly
            If TypeOf fileSystemInfo Is System.IO.FileInfo Then
                System.IO.File.Copy(fileSystemInfo.FullName, destinationFileName, True)
            Else
                ' Recursively call the mothod to copy all the neste folders
                CopyFavoritesFolder(fileSystemInfo.FullName, destinationFileName)
                End If
        Next
This is the code i am using. I tried to Modify it to help me but it doesnt work.. Please help
