Lacie Hard Drive problem
I deleted everything from the external hard drive and it is still showing that I only have 7.27 GB left on it.
Is the hard drive dead? Is there any way to save it?
This is a Lacie 156 GB by the way.

You could also type:
ls -la
in terminal to see invisible files -- but do you even care what's on there?

Very nice...that work perfectly.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Open up terminal (Applications > Utilities) and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
This will show you all of the hidden files and folders on your operating system. If you want to reverse the command replace TRUE with FALSE.
Or you could go nuclear and wipe the drive via the Disk Utility.
