    Folder gets disappeared when I click and go inside the folder

    Hello friends, I am working with the Linux Mint, I have this one folder which gets disappeared and when I come back to the desktop and then when I hit it off the folder and go within it. The folders after that it don’t have any difficulty. Do you imagine that there could be a bug in it, or is there I can do something to access its contents? What can be the problem with this problem. Please help me.

    I think that there might be no issue with the Virus. What I would first do is make use of the terminal with it. But before proceeding with it we should first have to know with your distribution that is either Mint 8 or Mint 9 or 10 and the desktop of Gnome or KDE. Write the given code and check it:
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    lsb_release -rd

    Well if it is the Gnome then watch out the window after typing the code:
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    gnome-about
    After that a window will come into view which will say you "Welcome to the Gnome Desktop", and the Version you use.
    after that open a terminal and enter the command:
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    pwd
    (print working directory)
    You should see somewhat like
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    /home/yourUserName
    Next what you do is:
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    ls -l
    Lists directories and files (at the end: l, not L or digit 1)
    afterward you have to locate the directory which holds your folder - perhaps you previously observe it.
    To unlock: (e.g. Downloads)
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    cd Downloads
    And to observe the content, another time
    Code:
    Code: Select all
    ls -l

    I had done that but I am not capable to go within to the folder. I got the name of the folder as eip Blog related with spaces among them - actually, I am not capable to go inside to whichever further folder which includes spaces, from the kernel I mean! There is a one more folder named as 'centurion' and I am capable to go inside to it and register the contents! Consequently I should rename the folders with none of the spaces?

    The name of the folder you get is eip Blog connected also with the spaces among them. You have originated the trouble now, spaces within the file name. What you do is rename that folder with no spaces and then check if it after that performs normally. If you desire to continue the name alike then make use of the underscore otherwise with dash character or else with the period that is eip_blog, eip-blog, eip.blog. Linux doesn't like spaces characters within file names, of which a directory(folder) is individual type of file name. what you can do is list the contents of a folder so as to have the space character by quoting the file name, such, ls -l 'file name'. make use of the single or double quotes, the another technique is to escape the character with a back slash \, which helps for the reason that Linux make use of the forward slash as a directory partition.
