How to Delete Corrupt Attribute Records
"Deleting corrupt attribute record" is an error message that pops up when you try to run CHKDSK (short for Check Disk) utility on a Microsoft Windows NT Server computer. This typically happens in directories when several files are repeatedly added and deleted in an "unbalanced" way. The best way to resolve this error is by running "CHKDSK /f" that recovers all the files that are corrupted in that specific directory. Administrative rights may be required on your computer to complete this task.
