[QUOTE="marshall, post: 972545, member: 138258"] Yeah the same thing happened to me. was bugging me for ages and ended up losing access to finder whilst trying to fix :P Anyway i did the same and copied the folder to another location and got a glimpse of the name of the file. After i used a program called "Find Any File" available free on the apple downloads page, and typed the name of file in there, and there was an option to display the hidden files. Right click the file and reveal in finder should show you the contents of the folder which you can safely delete i suppose depending on what it is. With mine there was only the one file but it was 7 gig big. If it is a number of different files you have i think you may be able to choose a folder name instead of file name which might be easier; worth checking out though with 30gib. [/QUOTE]
