This is really not a big issue. The folder has NOTHING in it but your files
(presuming file sharing is off...AppleTalk can still be on.)
It is a folder used temporarily during FileSharing.
Turn File Sharing off, make the folder 'visible' (File Buddy does this with
no problem), then open it in the Finder, delete the files, and then make it
'invisible' again with File Buddy.
There is nothing overly worrisome or complex about this. In fact, as a
test, I trashed the folder on my startup drive and then fired up File
Sharing again and mounted a few drives from the small local talk network at
home (connecting a IIsi, a Classic and my Powerbook to my main desktop
machine) and the folder was recreated on its own.
You do not have to BUY file buddy, just download it and do the deed, then
delete if you don't want to keep it.
File Buddy can be told to Find Invisible items (so choose only that option)
and you will see "TheVolumeSettings" in the list. Use File Buddy's 'Get
Info' (not the Finder's) to change the flags.
As a side note, this is how I rebuild the desktop. I actually use File
Buddy to make visible the DesktopDB and then I trash it. It gets rebuilt
from scratch. Keyboard rebuilding does not actually recreate the file...it
simply edits it. [File Buddy has built this into a menu command in later
versions (under the Special menu.)]
