How to Detect and Delete Invalid Files or Corrupted Files Quickly

, ,

In many data recovery cases, users will get many invalid or corrupted files in the recovered folders. It’s not good or not professional to send all these recovered folders to the final clients(PC users asking for data recovery).

When patient drives have many bad sectors or weak heads or scratched surfaces or when the patient drives have many fragmented files and common data recovery software cannot recover and restructure all fragmented files and the recovered files could not be opened normally, users will get many invalid or corrupted files within these cases.

Dolphin DR Assistant Pro. helps a lot to detect all invalid files or corrupted files quickly and delete them quickly.

Invalid files contain the following items:

01: Suffix contains tmp, tem, temp, Ink, etc;
02: Prefix contains ?, ~，etc;
03: File name contains ? ;
04: Detect and delete desktop.ini ;
05: Detect and delete thumbs.db

Invalid file sizes to set;

All corrupted files will be put to one special folder DEAD_DEAD_DEAD.
Data recovery engineers use this function-‘Detect and Delete Invalid Files’ very frequently for their data recovery success.
