Any way to search for corrupt files with XYplorer?

[michaelbeijer]

OK, so the indexer in my desktop search program (X1 Search) keeps choking on something. X1 support told me they think it might be due to corrupt files and suggested I delete my entire index and start from scratch, adding folder by folder and watching for the error, in order to locate the problematic files.

There is a high chance I have ​quite a few corrupt files on my computer as I collect glossaries from the internet in many different formats and dump them all in a massive folder for processing/searching

I am going to run ​​sfc /scannow from an elevated cmd prompt, to try to weed out any corrupt files.

Is there any way I might locate such ​corrupt files, using XYplorer or any other tools?

​​sfc /scannow

This is for system files, why should these get indexed at all?

A file can be corrupt in any part of it (not only the header) so as long as you don't know why the indexer is choking... The only real check if a file is corrupt would be a hash of it's last valid state.

Thanks highend. Hmm, hadn't thought of that. No, the files I wanted to check are all under C:\Users\michaelbeijer\Dropbox
Suppose I will just have to add one folder at a time to X1's index and wait until it chokes, which will then allow me to zoom in on the files causing the problem.
