Any recollection of where these were stored? Or what they were named?


  1. To Find Them: Use Spotlight Search***
  2. To Show Them: Simultaneously press: command + shift + period
  3. To Hide Them: Press that again
  4. But, don't mess with hidden files that are not these ones you speak of.


So,


***To use Spotlight Search (Hold Down: command + press: shift) and type the name. Once Found - drag it to the Trash and empty it.
