There are two folders I have that are both subfolders in two seperate directories. I needed to delete both of their parent directories and what I found was that everything except those two folders were deleted. When I try to delete them, I keep getting an error saying "the tag present in the reparse buffer point is invalid". (In the OneDrive desktop if that helps)
I have tried a number of ways to get past this. I tried using the rm -force
command in powershell (kept saying doesn't have access to the cloud file), the del
command in command prompt, running chkdsk (also, ever since this happened my PC has been running chkdsk on startup every time), booting up in safe mode, and deleting them in OneDrive live to see if my desktop would sync that way (onedrive live successfully deleted them, but they aren't getting deleted on my PC).
Another strange thing is that the file names are the same and keep changing despite having nothing to do with each other. They are both named pIFgTVfE
but weren't originally called that, and I couldn't find any pattern to when they both simultaneously change-- they just do.
I am really confused about this and am worried that something might be wrong with my SSD.
