Ghost Folder Into the hard disc

Hi!
somebody help me to find some files is on my external drive?
I had the same problem a month ago and I found a ghost folder. in that folder is write something about a SSL library... then when you change the the library in the same drive you still show all the name you had in the other old one(just a name--No files).
I found this folder reading the external drive with a PC... But into my MAC is no showing.
I hope it's clear.....sorry for my enghlish

Isn't there a setting on Macs where you can choose whether you want to view hidden folders or not. I only got experience with PC, but I would assume there is one.

Thanks
I'll tried but I didn't found....then I Format the hard disc and now everything is workin'
have a good night!!

in a terminal window type:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON

to reverse it back, replace ON with OFF

Do as the ReadMe says, and you'll be good to go...

i forgot to mention you have to force-quit the finder to so it loads the prefs...

oops it's "YES" not "ON"...

you could also do a
ls -al
in the root directory of the mounted disk.
