Why won't pics go into hidden folder?

I have pics in the Photos app that I want to put in my hidden folder. My hidden folder is showing in the left pane. I choose all photos and drag them over the top of the hidden folder. My arrow changes to +10 to indicate 10 are going in but they don't. They are still visible with all other photos, not in the hidden folder.


I am trying to do this on my macbook air

MacBook Air 13", 10.14

The "Hidden" album is a smart album. It will automatically show all photos that have been hidden, but you cannot drag photos there.

Select the photos you want to hide and enter the key combination ⌘L or use the menu command "Image " > Hide ... Photos ⌘L". Then the photos will be hidden in all other albums and from the Moments.
