Sounds like a case of your directory sturcture being corrupted. The Folders
that Won't Die have a valence greater than zero even though there aren't
any files in them. There is a way to fix this, and I don't know how to do
it offhand. It would require some very careful perusal of Inside Mac Vol. 4
to figure out how to fix it.
I'd suggest that you back things up file-by-file and reformat the disk. That's
not a bad idea every once in a while anyway.
