I've run into a strange issue. I'm hoping someone has seen it before.
I was doing a test restore from Backup Exec 2014 onto my backup server's secondary drive, into a directory directly intended for such things. The test restore was far larger than I expected. (BUE tends to state a restore is much smaller than it actually is if there are many subfolders.) So, I stopped the restore after it hit about 160GB and took over half the day. It was just a test restore, not a requested one, so no big deal. Well, apparently it was in the middle of restoring a file and stopped in a weird way, and now I can't delete the file from the temp drive. So, I have this "D:\Temp\Meadow\A\TVTranscript" (not the real file name, as that might give away company info) that just won't go away.
I was able to delete the other files and folders from this restore. When it comes to this one, Explorer says "Could not find this item" while the command line says "The system cannot find the file specified". I can rename the folders it is under, but any rename or delete or open command on the file just says it can't find it. I have run a chkdsk on the drive to no avail. The system has been rebooted three times since this started, so no luck in that fixing it. I believe it is an error in the NTFS master file table, but chkdsk doesn't even detect there is something wrong there.
Any advice for this?
