Weird Folder Appearing Under Macintosh HD

[Corey Grandy]

Today, while clearing up some HD space I noticed a strange folder located on the Macintosh HD. It appears to be named with a single Japanese or Chinese character (those being my best guesses, could definitely be something completely different) and reappears upon restart if deleted. I've attached a picture of what it looks like. Any help as to what it is and how to rid myself of it would be great

I've got that too.

I thought it was something dodgy but I reinstalled by MBP to find out and without installing anything apart from updates from Software Update it appeared.

Nothing to worry about to be honest!

Odd - I certainly don't have it. Perhaps you can open a terminal and run:

cd /
ls -al

and post the output? Might give some more insight.

EDIT: Also, what's inside the folder? If you "cd" into the folder into the terminal and post the output from another "ls -al" that'd be very useful too!

Korean, apparently. See here.

You could open Console (in Utilities) and do

File->Open Quickly->Files->/private/var/log->system.log.0.bz2

See what was going on yesterday at 8:14 pm.
