Am using a Knoppix 3.7 Live CD.
I used wine to run a Wndows app and it locked up the system.
I had to reset. I was locked up hard.

After reboot, I have found on my HDD two really weird files and one weird directory.
The files are ".Xauthority" and "OOICONS.tar.gz". The directory is ".nessusrc.cert".

The filenames are correct but the owner and group are random numbers.
For example, the ".Xauthority" has owner 1531901541 and the group is 1635018088.
The sizes show as 1.7Gb for the files and 774Mb for the directory.
The directory is named similarly.

They are all read-only and I can't rename, chown or delete them even with sudo.
They look similar to file names on a Windows box that are corrupted.

Anybody have an idea how I can rename, delete or otherwise repair these files
short of losing the contents of the entire drive.

Thx

<EDIT>

I got it fixed.

I didn't want to but I used e2fsck and just let it do as it would.
Luckily it fixed all the errors and I only lost one directory. The firefox directory.
I can just put firefox back again. It could have been worse.
I was sweatin' bullets the entire time.
