mystery shared files

My limewire was working perfectly until yesterday when, after a short session, I shut down limewire and went to my shared folder to listen to what I had received.
My shared folder was empty, even though while in limewire, it said that I was sharing 29 files. I reopened limewire, downloaded a few more files, all the while watching the 'shared files' number increasing. Once again, I shut it down, then went to my folder, and there was nothing there. Now every time I open limewire, it says I'm sharing the same number of files, even though the folder is totally empty. I uninstalled that version, downloaded and installed the latest, and when I opened it up, it still said the same number of files being shared, and now it doesn't even seem to want to download. Please help. I'm on OS X.
