the hidden files start with a . like
.raynon
.asdf
.dfhg
these are hidden files.If you want to see this you have to put
ls -al
it will show u all the files including the hidden files.
But the first two lines that is
./
../
they shows the link to current directory and the parent directory respectively.when we create a directory these two links are created automatically.
total 16 means the directory is taking 16 blocks of memory.
Thanks

The server principal needs administer permission to the parent directory or delete permission to the child pointer that points to the
directory you intend to delete.
