how can i do to hide the hidden files?

Iron sharpens iron, my friend.

Have fun!

I dare say that getting 4 is impossible.

First of all, there is no option -l (the letter L) in tail. You ought to get an error. But, I assume you mean the option -1 (the digit ONE).
If so, you produce only ONE line from the output. So, what happens when you do a line count on ONE line? You will get the result 1. Always.

Check this out:
Ok, we have a simple file with four lines. Lets count them with wc:
Let's try your approach:
Please provide a sample of when you run the code, and how you can get 4 as a result, because something is very off.

#!/bin/bash

FOLDER_TOTAL=$(find ~/$1/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | wc -l)
FILE_TOTAL=$(find ~/$1/* -maxdepth 0 -type f -exec du -h {} + | tail -n 1000 | wc -l)
FOLDER_SIZE=$(find ~/$1/ -maxdepth 1 -exec du -ch {} + | tail -l | cut -d"/" -f4-8 | grep total | cut -d"t" -f1)

dir_info() {
echo "there are" $FOLDER_TOTAL "directories in the directory $1"
echo "there are" $FILE_TOTAL "files in the directory $1"
echo "the directory $1 is $FOLDER_SIZE great"
}

if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo " Er zijn geen parameters beschikbaar"
else
until [ -z "$1" ]
do
case $1 in
* ) dir_info;;
esac
shift
done
fi

that is the code that i have written

Ok. First you post this:
But now you post this:
But the same applies to what I wrote earlier. You pipe the output from tail into wc, and then count the lines, why!?! wc is just repeating the number of lines you specify with tail!

when i use tail -l some files disapear

Look, I am trying to help you out, but since you don't even read what I post, I think I am done here.

Best of luck!
