It appears "Everything" is indexing this volume.
However, there maybe some orphaned files and folders due to a damaged file system.

You can confirm this by building a fresh database in debug mode.

To rebuild the database in debug mode:

• Exit "Everything" completely.
• Delete your Everything.db file in your "Everything" installation folder.
• Run "Everything" with the -debug command line option:

  Code: Select all

  C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -debug

• Check the debug console for the following messages:

  Code: Select all

  remove excluded folders: original folder count X
  remove excluded folders: folder count after removing orphan folders Y
  remove excluded folders: original file count X
  remove excluded folders: file count after removing orphan files Y

  X is the number of files and folders before the file system has been fixed.
  Y is the number of files or folders after the file system has been fixed.
  
  The number of removed orphaned files or folders = X - Y
  
  If you have a large amount of removed orphaned files (10 or more) I would recommend:
  • Make a backup of your volume.
  • Run Check Disk with Automatically fix file system errors enabled.

Please try the following:

To copy the text in the debug console:

As suspected, the file system is corrupt.
You can see from the debug output all your folders are missing parent folders.

I would recommend you

1. Make a backup of the drive.
2. Run Check Disk.

Make sure you make a backup first as Check Disk will most likely mangle your folder names and file names.

To run Check Disk:

• Open My Computer.
• Right click the volume in question.
• Click Properties.
• Click the Tools tab.
• Click Check Now....
• Check Automatically fix file system errors.
• Click Start.
