"AppData" folder is marked in red in IDrive. Not backed up.

My laptop had a fight with my new BitDefender a few days ago. One of the effects is that files in the following folder are not being backed up by IDrive:

- C:\Users\<Me>\AppData

I looked in:

Left panel > Backup > Change button > C:\Users\<me>

In that folder, "AppData" is marked in RED.

Prior to the BitDefender incident, files in AppData were being backed up. I can prove that by looking in "Restore" in left panel. I can see previous files from AppData until a few days ago.

In:
Left panel > Settings > Exclude Files....

C:\Users\<me>\AppData
is not checked.

Please advise how to include AppData files in the backup.

Thanks

ADDED

This post has been overtaken by events.

I restored a Macrium backup for the last date before BitDefender was installed.

Everything is back to normal. IDrive now sees my AppData folder.

Thanks

Glad you got it sorted - I wasn't sure what to suggest!
