Hide WP-includes, and WP-content/uploads from WordPress

I am using WordPress, I have to hide WP-includes, and WP-content/uploads from WordPress. I have tried to add the below code in htaccess

Options -Indexes

Also, I have referred to this link but still, it’s not working for me.

The below link is working

http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-includes/

but if I add then I can see all the files. Same for the upload folder

http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-includes/assets

http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/01

Note-localhost is just an example

    After some research, I have created a .htaccess file in the wp-content/uploads and added the below code. And it's started working

    # Kill PHP Execution
<Files ~ ".ph(?:p[345]?|t|tml)$">
deny from all
</Files>

    Where does the .htaccess file exist on the server? Which path?

    Are you sure your web server is processing this file? Are you indeed running Apache?

    As long as you have a file named .htaccess (no spaces), and it’s placed in your root HTML folder, or within both wp-includes and wp-content folders, and somewhere within the file on its own line, you have Options -indexes, this should be respected for all subfolders and turn off auto-indexing. Can you share the entire contents of this file, perhaps you have placed this line somewhere it’s not being read.
