NTFS Problem: Cannot find the %%% file.

[Guest Schellhaas]

Hello Ppl,

 

i used robocopy to copy files from an hybrid Filesystem via CIFS to a

partition. Now there are many Files which i cannot delete using Explorer or

total commander.

The files are mainly for example Mailfiles from cyrus backend eg.: 100.

1001. 1002. their names.

I even cannot view the Permissions but i get those files listed.

Which tool can i use to delete the files ? Some Filesystem Check wont find

errors.

 

Thanks

The usual method is to seize ownership of such files, then delete them.

I cannot seize ownership, there is no such Information to be found because

(well it doesnt tell, but i suggest) "file not found".

When i click Porperties the best i can get is no info at all:

type: file

size 0

size on disk 0

 

but its there, and detailed view of the folder tells size of file is 5k

doesnt work, there is no permission tab on the file, also properties show

size is 0 in fact size is 5k and this is shown in detailed folders view.

i would say ntfs and the viewers like explorer arent so compatible regarding

those file, what could i use to modify my ntfs ?
