Fault: The file name in the computer is garbled file

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 delete these annoying garbled files.

First, the reason for the garbled file name file

After careful analysis and research, I think the garbled file is mainly caused by the following reasons:

1. Hard disk track Or an error occurred in the sector, causing the file name to be garbled. Such a file cannot be deleted normally.

2. Sometimes the delete file operation executed in Windows just 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 anti-virus software.

6. Flash memory, mobile hard disk and other mobile storage devices have garbled files, especially mobile phone memory cards are the most prone to this problem. 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 prompt "Windows delays writing failure, Windows cannot save all data for x:/windows/windowsupdate.log file" appears in the lower right corner of the system. This is mostly Since the memory card has been damaged.
