Solved VERY STRANGE, cloned folder, files disappeared

[sueppe]

I can not find solution online, even in other languages,
I wrote in different forums ..never seen this problem before!

issue:

folder (D:\folder)
suddenly it "splits" in two folders, like something cloned it
and the two copies are "locked"

on explorer I see:
D:\folder
and
D:\FOLDER

same name, in uppercase and lowercase,
both locked (padlock visible from explorer).

if I try to enter I get "Access Denied."
i tryed to unlock the privileges of the entire HardDisk

Folders are now unlocked
but both contain only one folder
called "new folder" .. that is empty.

Another strange thing:

if I delete the "new folder" from one of the two folders "cloned"
this is automatically deleted from both folders

I've tried to use Recuva, files that were inside are not deleted.
i can't find those files anywere! 50gb or more lost don't know where.
incredible
sorry for my bad english

Rename one of the folders. close windows file explorer and reopen it. The folder has been renamed? And the other one?

Also in "command prompt":

D:
DIR

Do you see the folder twice?

solved.
i deleted one folder
(the uppercase one)
the other folder showed magically all the files.

writing in several forums
