FOLDER NAME ALREADY EXISTS. PLEASE ENTER A DIFFERENT FOLDER NAME

So I created a folder and some drawings in it. Checked those drawings into vault. Everything was running smoothly. 

Tried to open said drawings on another computer by opening the plant project from vault - huh, the folder isn't there in the plant 3d browser. that's odd.  -Refresh from Vault. No, still nothing.

Tried creating a new folder in explorer, copying the drawing files in manually and then manually adding them to the project. No dice, when I try to create the folder on the second computer in the plant 3d project manager, it tells me the file name already exists, despite not showing up in either the project manager or the regular explorer.

Final option - scorched earth. Deleted the folder and contents from EVERYTHING. It no longer exists in vault, or on either of the computers, the only remaining files are the two drawing files partitioned off on another network in a totally different file structure.

I'm still getting the "FOLDER NAME ALREADY EXISTS. PLEASE ENTER A DIFFERENT FOLDER NAME." message.

Help. Please.
