What you can do is to mark the directory as Excluded:

and then disable the option to show them:

or... you can play around with scopes in IntelliJ and select that instead of "Project".

Go to File -> Settings. Then under Editor section, select File Types.

There's a section at the bottom to enter ignored files and folders. This may help you.
