Q: having trouble with format of old OS after having to quit installation of Leopard.

I unfortunately tried to install OS X Leopard without the necessary available amount of space on my hard drive. I quit installation from the menu and restarted my computer using my current OS, 10.4.11.  Now upon trying to navigate the folders and hard drive in order to locate areas in which i can find some extra gigs, many of the file names/paths are numbered instead of titled (E.g., i double-click on the Trash and the window pops up entitled "N39"), the left-hand side of the windows are blank when i open a folder (even though the content is there, the navigation is all screwed up.) Other little things are making it difficult for me to figure out how/what to delete and what is going on. I hope there is a really simple answer to this issue, and that i am just an idiot. Please help.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
