Other than photos that have a hidden album, iPadOS doesn't natively support hiding of files.

Delete or hide photos and videos on iPad - Apple Support

Hide photos on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro with the Hidden album - Apple Support

If you have used a third-party App to hide files on your iPad, you'll need to use the same App to recover files that you have locked/hidden.
