When a SharePoint List/Library is marked hidden, SharePoint simply removes there navigation point from the SiteContents. The actual List/Library still continue to exist at their respective urls, the format of which remains in sync with any other SharePoint List/Library.
So to access a hidden SharePoint List, navigate to:
[siteurl]/Lists/[listname]/AllItems.aspx
For document library, use the following:
[siteurl]/[listname]/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Key Takeaways
- This is assuming that your SharePoint List/Library still have the view, AllItems.aspx. If not, then replace this name from the url with your custom view name.
- If your List/Library name contain space characters, say My Custom List, then do replace all the spaces with, %20. So your url in this particular case will become:
[siteurl]/Lists/My%20Custom%20List/AllItems.aspx
