Run the following:
ls -AORl ~
Search or scan the output for 'hidden'.

If you haven't already, use:
ls -AORl ~
If you still can't find it, check your backups.

Open the Terminal and run:
ls -A
with the folder which contains it as the target.

From above:
with the folder which contains it as the target.
For example, if that folder is in Documents, provide "ls -A ~/Documents/"

ls -A ~/Desktop/
