Correctly delete files with garbled file names in the system

  
        

Many friends have encountered such a situation: the file name in the computer is a garbled file (hereinafter referred to as garbled file, note: the file name is garbled instead of the file content garbled), they cannot be opened, renamed, deleted or moved. . Looking at the file attributes, the system shows no file types, and they generally take up a lot of disk space. This article focuses on the causes of these garbled file name files and how to remove these annoying garbled files. First, the reason for the garbled file name file After careful analysis and research, the reasons for the garbled file are mainly the following: 1. The disk track or sector error occurs, resulting in garbled file names, such files can not be deleted normally. 2. Sometimes the delete file operation performed in Windows simply deletes the related file information in the file allocation table on the disk, and does not actually delete the file. 3. Incorrect operation. When using the BT download software, the download progress stops at 99%, and the file name is modified by itself. Since the BT download is not downloaded in sequence, this may result in incorrect file index information, resulting in garbled files. 4. After converting the partition format using the disk tool PQmagic (such as from NTFS to FAT32), the file name garbled. Because PQmagic's support for Chinese file names is not very good, it will cause garbled Chinese file names after finishing the partitions, and even the contents of the files will be garbled. 5. The file name caused by the virus is garbled. The reason for this garbled file is more complicated. Generally, the virus is not completely caused by the virus itself or the virus removal software does not completely cause the disk logic error. 6. Garbled files such as flash memory and mobile hard disk appear garbled files, especially mobile phone memory cards. This situation is mostly caused by improper use of mobile storage devices, such as direct removal of devices. However, sometimes a bad quality flash or mobile hard disk will also have garbled files, which is a quality problem of the mobile device itself. For example, when writing data to the memory card, an error occurs, and a garbled file appears. At the same time, the system appears in the lower right corner of the system. "Windows delays the write failure, and Windows cannot save all the data for the x:/windows/windowsupdate.log file." Mostly because the memory card has been damaged.

Second, delete the garbled file name file due to the reasons for the garbled file. After careful study, I found the following solutions: 1. Try to rename the file, if you can rename it . Run cmd to open the task manager, end the explorer process, switch to the cmd command prompt and enter the "Del file name" to delete the file. This method is only applicable to files that can be renamed. Close all other unrelated programs when you are working. 2. If the system prompts “Reject Access” when renaming the file, run the “chkdsk /f” command in cmd mode to check the disk error and fix it. If a disk error is found, the general error can be fixed. After the repair is completed, the garbled file can be deleted. Note: Sometimes, because the partition of the garbled file is the system area, the system will prompt “Other process is calling the volume, do you want to check the volume at the next boot?” I suggest running the chkdsk command in this way, using Windows. Install the disk boot system, when selecting the new installation windows interface, press “R” repair the existing system, enter the command prompt state, run the "chkdsk /f" command here. I have tested it so that it works much better than the cmd mode under Windows. Run the “fixmbr” command again to repair the partition table. It can also fix other problems in the system. 3. If you still can't delete the garbled file after the previous step, you can use our most commonly used WinRAR compression tool to delete it. The specific method is to compress the garbled file and select the option to delete the source file after compression. In this way, the general garbled file can be deleted. 4. But if the disk file index block of the file has been destroyed, there is no way for WinRAR. At this time, you should borrow the powerful tool Ghost. First make the partition with garbled files into an image file, then use Ghost explorer to browse the image file, find the garbled file and delete it, and then restore the image file to the source partition. This method can generally solve the problem that the majority of garbled file names cannot be deleted. 5. If you are installing Windows and Linux dual systems, there is a solution. First, start the system with Linux, use the “mount” command to load the FAT32 partition with garbled files and specify codepage=cp437 to see the full Chinese file name and directory. Then, use the “cp -r” command to copy the garbled file to the Linux partition; then use the “umount” command to uninstall the FAT32 partition, reload and specify codepage = cp936 with “iocharset=cp936 The cp -r” command copies the garbled files back. This method can recover partitions completely losslessly.
