Hi gang,
I've noticed this a couple of times when shifting around at the
top level of disks. A file/folder with the sequence:
".... [gibberish] Rename and Move.."
or something like that. I've seen this twice. I'e been too busy to
examine it at those times - but when I return to it - gone!
Is this a scratch area? It seems to be invisible from the 'Desktop' level.
Clues anyone?
