You can't since maemo indexes even hidden folders and files.

and will eat up rootfs space .
if you want to stop media player , and image app tracking your files , install tracker-cfg and disable all indexing activity .

Case 1: Hide files from being displayed in media player or photos.
Connect device as mass storage. Create a folder named "Private" (do not use quotes "") Put files in it. Maemo doesnt index folders named Private.
Case 2: Hide files from being displayed in file manager as well in the respective applications.
Open Terminal
Note: Make sure there is a '.' before the start of the name of the first folder and Private as the name for the second folder.
Again, do not use Quotes. Hope it helps.
