How can I delete corrupted NTFS files Chkdsk doesn't fix
In researching this I found that the cause is most likely a corrupted Master File Table. The only suggestion I have found is backup the volume excluding the problem files from the backup. Reformat the drive and restore it from the backup.
Here's the article at Microsoft.

Does anyone have a simpler solution?
How about a way to scan the entire drive and identify all the files like this so I only have to do the backup/restore thing once?
