How to delete or move away corrupted encode files
I got from a chinese seller in eBay a recorder that has a HDMI in+out ports plus a USB port
where I plug my USB HDD to record video+audio streams that came out of the HDMI
source: sometimes, corrupted encodedxxx.mp4 files (of 0 bytes or of some size but
indicated as '0 file') are created.
I can't use Win Explorer nor commands (del, move, rename) to clear or move or rename
these files: a message saying 'corrupted file, run chkdsk' pops up : I don't want to run
chkdsk as it's been known to corrupt my HDDs.
How can I get rid of these 'corrupt' files so that they don't clutter my HDD. I could
have move all these few TB of mp4 files aways somewhere, reformat the HDD but
it's going to take me a couple of days: any better/faster way of doing it?

Tried new USB cable on that Seagate HDD, still can't delete. The USB port on that recorder
box: how do I check it? Think if I press the record button, let it record for at least 20secs
before I stop recording, these 'lost' files won't happen or if I only record 1 video at a time
rather than leaving it to record continuously overnight (which may be the cause here)
I think this issue may be due to me pressing the button on that recorder box too soon or
perhaps I was fast-forwarding / backwarding the video inputs.
