How to STOP Teams from auto-deciding for me what I should see and not see

I don't know about others but for me its very annoying when TEAMS decides for me what I need to see and don't need to see vs letting me make that decision myself. YES I can SHOW a channel that has been hidden but if I don't know it was hidden then I don't know it needs to be shown.  I was looking for information that I knew would be in a file somewhere but I didn't know the file name and b/c TEMAS auto hid the channel it was in for me I couldn't locate it via manual search. I had to go ask someone else who had worked with the info and when they ds showed me the file I went back to my desk and of course I still couldn't locate it b/c I didn't realize it was in a hidden channel. I could search by the file name but I didn't make note of the file name b/c I thought  that knowing in what Channel it was that I could then manually find it myself. 

Time was wasted all b/c MS Teams made choices for me without asking or checking with me first. Is there a way to shut this down so in the future TEAMS does not hide something soi that only I can hide it if I want to hide it?

If any MS Engineer is reading this,. PLEASE stop making choices for us users!  Its great that we can if we so choose, hide or show something but stop deciding for us what we should see and not see!  It was annoying when you started this hide & seek game with the functions in the MS Applications and it's no more fun now that your doing it in TEAMS.  Some users like to decide for themselves vs letting software choose for them.
