Well, if this is supposed to now be empty why not just format the
partition (only rakes a few minutes) and end once and for all any
mystery that the partition may contain. I recall years ago that there
was a way to actually hide directories on HPUX, I wonder if someone
found a way to do that here. Perhaps the hackers created those
directories and therein lies some future problems.
