files appear to the author but not appearing to the admin and other users

I have a sharepoint library with more than 20 K file in nested folders. 

the problem is : the employee has added alot of files recently but those files appear to him only, I can't see them as site admin or farm admin, and the other users couldn't see them as well, this library files with unique permission.

  • If the files are not checked out (this is the issue 99% of the time in my experience), maybe target audiences are set on the library/documents?

    do they possibly require additional metadata and are still checked out (little green icon with arrow) due to this?
    • It clearly seems the files are checkout so none can see them :-)...the user should check in the documents or an administrator can also do it
