depending on how much data there is you could just try to read each file
until you get a read error from the reading command!

file /path/to/decrypted/data -type f |
while read i; do
  echo "$i"
  cat "$i" > /dev/null || exit
done

Note that I have not tested or debugged the above. Just a suggestion.
