How do I remove unindexed files from an NTFS system, without unmounting the disk?

  • 772

I have accidentally created a giant, unindexed, file on an NTFS system and I am trying to remove it.

CHKDSK appears to require the disk to be unmounted before the file can be reindexed (and eventually removed). Is there any way to achieve the same effect, without unmounting the disk?

    Sorry to say CHKDSK will only perform that function on a unmounted disk.
