See if you can find the file(s) using one of these programs. If you go Finder/View/Show Path Bar, it will show you where it is located.

EasyFind – Spotlight Replacement.

Find Any File.

Try re-indexing Spotlight by excluding your hard drive and then remove it. The reindex will take a while to complete.
