Rm: Test: Directory not empty

Question

Hi,
I typed rm -d -i Test-->y-->rm: Test: Directory not empty, but in fact there is nothing in the folder of Test.
The-Universe:Test LS$ rm -i testfile
remove testfile? y
The-Universe:Test LS$ ls
The-Universe:Test LS$ cd ..
The-Universe:~ LS$ ls
Desktop Downloads Movies Pictures Send Registration Test
Documents Library Music Public Sites dwhelper
The-Universe:~ LS$ rm -d -i Test
remove Test? y
rm: Test: Directory not empty
Why is this so?
Thank you!
Cheers.

Answer 1

The-Universe:Test LS$ open .
Yes! you used the open . command!
open list the current current directory with a finder panel. Finder may decide to write .DS_Store file.
Not sure when finder writes .DS_Store file. I resized the window & finder didn't write window. When I added a folder, finder immediately wrote .DS_Store.
