As a workaround, you could create an empty SharePoint group, and set the permission on the folders toi that group only. It won't be shown to regular users, but owners and administrators would still see tyem. If this solves your problem, take a look at permission settings on items and folders using PowerShell:

$folders = $list.Folders

foreach ($spFolder in $folders)
{   
    $PermissionLevel = "PermissionName" ;
    $group = $web.SiteGroups[$GroupName];   
    $spFolder.BreakRoleInheritance($false);
    $roleAssignment = New-Object microsoft.sharepoint.SPRoleAssignment($group);
    $roleDefinition = $web.RoleDefinitions[$PermissionLevel];
    $roleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($roleDefinition);   
    $spFolder.RoleAssignments.Add($roleAssignment);       
    $spFolder.Update();   
}
