Comment on How to Update WordPress Themes by SEO Dave.
I’d be worried about finding a folder that shouldn’t be there, could be your sites been hacked.
Make a backup and reinstall everything, change passwords etc… unless you are sure your site wasn’t compromised. If it is hacked you’ll probably find other files that have been uploaded to allow further access by the hacker. Been there a few years back, made the mistake of storing FTP passwords in Filezilla and running Internet Explorer with an out of date Adobe plugin (I think my PC was compromised, think a hacker downloaded the Filezilla password list which isn’t encrypted!!!: never store your passwords in Filezilla, massive security flaw) was a pain fixing the damage caused.
