The files are "hidden" by default - Open "Control Panel" and select "Folder Options" (this may be under "Appearance and Personalization" depending on the style of your Control Panel).
Under "Folder Options", click the "View" tab. In the "Advanced Settings" window, under "Hidden files and folders", click the button for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives". Then click "Apply" and "OK".
Your external drive will now show lots more that you couldn't see before - the icons for files & directories that are marked "hidden" will show up slightly "fainter".
If you want to see where everything has gone without digging around, use a tool like https://windirstat.info/
