Not able to view files on HDFS

I created some files on my HDFS. I was able to execute the hadoop fs -ls command to view them and it worked fine. Later I was not able to view them. Hence I tried to format the namenode and add the files back in and it says the files already exits. Any idea why this is happening? How can I delete the files if I am not able to view them ?

I was able to view the files on the browser.

You appear to be logged in as the user yeshwanthvenkatesh. When you run hadoop fs -ls with no path, hadoop shows you the contents of your home directory (probably /user/yeshwanthvenkatesh) which appears to be empty. You can try running:

hadoop fs -ls /user/hadoop/scolopax/input/ebird/autogen

but since that directory belongs to the user hadoop, you likely don't have permissions. If not, try this:

sudo -u hadoop hadoop fs -ls /user/hadoop/scolopax/input/ebird/autogen
