Answer:
Launch the Terminal app on your Mac (it's inside of Applications > Utilities) and then type in the following (customized to your directory name):
dot_clean /Path/To/The/Problematic/Directory/
Once entered, hit return to run dot_clean.
If you're sure what to put in for the path to your directory, it will be in a format like "/Macintosh HD/Users/myusername/Music". You can see the path for a directory by selecting it in the Finder and going to File > Get Info (Command-I). Or you can click command-click on the name in the top middle of a Finder window to see its path.
