Damage to Hard Drive Structure Doesn't allow you to Delete Files in Windows
- by Jacob Luis
In some situations, you may need to delete some unwanted files from your Windows hard drive to free up disk space. The situations occur when your drive becomes full and you need to store more files to it. But, when you try to delete the files, you get some error message that indicate damage on the drive and files could not be deleted. Such damage may make the existing files inaccessible and cause serious file loss circumstances. At this point, you need to opt for File Recovery solutions to retrieve lost files from Windows hard drive.
In a practical scenario, when you attempt to delete a file on NTFS file system partition, you might come across below error message:
"Cannot delete file name: The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable."When you check the system log, you will see any of the following Event entries:"Event ID: 41Source: DiskperfDescription: The file system structure on disk is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the device with label "Volume_name" Or"Event ID: 55Source: NTFSDescription: The file system structure on disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume <Drive_letter:>"
When you run ChkDsk tool against the affected Windows hard drive partition, the utility might or might not make some repairs, but afterwards you still could not delete the files from drive. Such corruption scenarios need windows file recovery to be sorted out.
Root of the problem
This problem generally occurs due to damage the MFT (Master File Table) of NTFS file system. The long and short files name pairs, which are stored in directory index record and associated FRS (File Record Segment) contain case-sensitive names that don't match.
