Sounds like you are using Dired (`C-x d'), and you want to refresh
the display of files.  You can use `g' to do that.

`C-h m' in any buffer usually gives you helpful information about
that buffer (mode).  In Dired it mentions `g', among other things:

  Type g to read all currently expanded directories aGain.
  This retains all marks and hides subdirs again that were hidden before.
