It's not a hidden file, is it?  Try "ls -la | sort -n +4"

When you rebooted, did you do a proper reboot?  If you
just killed the power, fsck'ing the filesystem would
prolly be a good idea.  You could fsck the filesystem
anyway, and look for the spacewasters to make an
appearance in the "lost+found" directory.
