finding hidden files after rendering Maya file through terminal

So I wrote a file to render out my animation scene through terminal rather than doing it within maya itself. Its common practice and its a standard simple line of text you enter for it. anyway. i had it create a folder from within the command rather then setting an existing folder as the render destination. Well now i can't find my files, the folder never showed up in finder but if i try to create a folder with the same name, it says it already exists. I tried navigating directly to it with apple shift g and it said it didnt exist. Then I found the command on macrumors to have finder show hidden files, i logged out and logged back in, and even still the folder does not show up. its not a huge deal to have to rerender the scene but based on the rerender ive started, that mystery folder is almost 4gigs and i would like to get rid of it. does anyone know what happen, and how i can get to the folder? Thanks in advance
