The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid

So today I was working on Onedrive and a large Sharepoint document library. It would not sync some files and resetting the Onedrive client would still not allow me to delete some folders.

Something is screwed up.

I tried my FastCopy tool, which rarely lets me down, but unfortunately it still didn’t work.

So instead I installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux and using Ubuntu you can access the Windows Folders by going to /mnt/c/

From here, I had the folder which I renamed to “deleteme”.

So the command is rm -R deleteme

Unbelievably, this didnt work for all files (but did for some). So my next move was a chkdsk /f /r command (which requires a reboot). This last move allowed me to delete everything.
