'Atom Editor: How to unhide `.env` file in Atom
I've deleted .* from Ignored Names.
All the . files are now showing in the sidebar (except for the .env file).
Why is only this one file hidden? How can I make it visible?

If you look in the settings for the "tree-view" package, it has an option to hide files that are present in the current project's .gitignore file. You may have that option set, and have .env in the current .gitignore.
Preferences > Settings > Packages > search for "tree-view" > click "Settings" button:

It's in nuclide-package -> settings -> NUclide-file-tree and toggle:
