Hi All,

I have a ntfs partition which I mount with ntfs-3g and fuse.  Some months ago 
I had split a video file which thereafter bzipped:

-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00001xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00002xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00003xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00004xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00005xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00006xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00007xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00008xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00009xaa.bz2
-?????????  ? ?    ?             ?            ? rec00010xaa.bz2

The ??? above show me that something is amiss and the files have been 
corrupted.  I recall deleting them (or trying to) from within MSWindows, but 
I couldn't do that and, of course, blamed MSWindows for it.

Now I am looking at this having booted into Gentoo and I cannot delete them:
=====================================
/mnt/VideoDrive $ rm rec00001xaa.bz2

rm: cannot remove `rec00001xaa.bz2': No such file or directory
=====================================

shred does not work either:
=====================================
$ shred -v -z -u rec00001xaa.bz2 
shred: rec00001xaa.bz2: failed to open for writing: No such file or directory
=====================================

This is how it has been mounted:

$ mount | grep Video
/dev/sda9 on /mnt/VideoDrive type fuseblk 
(rw,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)

Is there an application I could use to remove them and free the space on the 
disk, or should I run chkdisk or fsck first?  I cannot afford to lose the 
remaining data on the disk and I do not have another disk as large to back up 
first.
