music folder is hiding!!!
My Linux install is setup as swap/root/home on my master hard drive and on my slave drive has music on an ntfs partition. Anyway, (as root) copied the music files to my /home partition but halfway through the transfer it stopped "Disk Full". To my horror the files have been copied to my /root partition but I can't see the 'music' file to enable me to delete it.

I have tried to find the music files via the terminal and through the 'root file manager' window but nothing shows. Any help pleeeease?

First try the command as root from /root directory (using a command line terminal window):
# ls -a

Are there any files that start with '.' (dot) that could possibly be the music file(s)?

Assuming the name of the music file(s) is "music" or has "music" somewhere in the name, you could issue the command, again as root from /root:
# find . -name "*music*" -print
and then you could see the file size with:
# ls -lt /root/<path-to-music-file(s)>

That means that if the find command above finds a file that fits the name with music in it, then the -print part of the find command will tell you its location, so replace the <path-to-music-file(s)> with the path (directory path) to the music file(s) in the ls -lt command above.
