File structure problem - Created a file I should not have with strange results

[Bryan O'Neal]

Ok, so I am working away and I wanted to create a new log folder, and so
I created one called log.  Wheat appeared was a strange fully populated
folder, after which my whole db install was screwed.  How can I recover?
And what do the t and s stand for in drwxrwsr-t anyway?  I fear if I
don't get a solution I will be looking at a backup, wipe, and reinstall.
 
What I have it this: 
From: ls -aCFlLN /home/db2inst1/
drwxr-xr-x 12 db2inst1 db2iadm1 4096 Jul  9 13:02 ./
drwxr-xr-x  9 root     root     4096 Jul  6 14:38 ../
-rw-------  1 db2inst1 db2iadm1  432 Jul  9 12:53 .bash_history
-rw-r--r--  1 db2inst1 db2iadm1   24 Jun  3 12:04 .bash_logout

What I need is this
From: ls -aCFlLN /home/db2inst1/
drwxr-xr-x  6 db2inst1 db2iadm1 4096 Jul  6 16:45 ./
drwxr-xr-x  7 root     root     4096 Jul  6 08:45 ../
