Hi Barbara --

You can safely delete those files. In general terms, they are files
that have become cross-linked and therefore unusable. They may or may
not contain some pieces of valid data, but even so you probably
already have that data safely tucked away in another file. My
experience has been that nothing bad ever happened to me when I threw
away files created by scandisk or by its forunner, checkdisk.

Cheers, Phil

When I run scandisk it makes several files and puts them on my hard
disk.  They usually look like this:

File0000.chk
File0001.chk

The last time I ran it one of the files has 24 MB in it!!!!!!  There
were 8 more files made, but they had only 32-96 KB in them.  I
desperately need the space this file is taking up.  Is it safe to
delete it?  I tried to open it and only got little boxes.  Can't see
how it could be doing me any good if I can't open it to tell what it
is.   It think it is supposed to be some kind of report of what it
fixed????

Thanks for any advice,

Barbara Allen
