This is a bug in certain Android versions where the storage access framework (virtual folders) don't show the same data as the file system.
A reboot will show the correct data, but this is annoying.

You can access the drive only via storage access framework, then you will always see the correct data.
Just long tap on that drive in the TC home folder and choose "Hide". This will hide the directory and show the virtual folder instead.

Thank you for the help. After restart I can access my files again.

But I can't see "Hide" menu then I long press on my drive in the TC home.

I have already replied to you via e-mail, so just for reference for other people with this problem:
Please long tap on the NAME of the drive in the TC home folder, not on the icon. Then choose "Hide".
