I've been downloading files (all mp3s and avi movies) into my personal folder (Macintosh HD > Users > Jesiah)
Was doing this for a few days with no problem.. then, suddenly, when I went to open the "jesiah" folder, there is nothing in there (along with this being the target for all my downloaded files, it had all the folders I organized into, like Music, Movies, Pictures, etc). I don't recall this happening initially, but now whenever I open "jesiah" everything but the HD dissapears off the desktip (presumably, because my desktop files are saved in the Desktop folder, within Jesiah).

I know all the files are still there, because if I link to them from outside of using the Finder, I can use them, and when used that specific folder/subfolder reappears within "Jesiah" (for instance, opening iTunes, I can play all the songs that I have, which are saved within Jesiah > Music > iTunes... then, going back to Jesiah, the Music folder and all the subsequent subvolders are there again, but none of the other folders).

initially, when I noticed this, I did realize I was also out of HD space (had 150mb available).. quickly deleted some crap from other places I had access to, and made over 1gig available.. no help at all...

I think that's all the relevant information =P
oh and this is on OSX 10.1.5

Thank you so much in advance!!!!!!!!!!
