Moderators Augeas Posted September 11, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2013 As you've been a member for two years I'm surprised you haven't come across the many times this has been explained here, including this http://forum.pirifor...wtopic=39391 posted only yesterday. I can't really understand your third sentence but the Master File Table is where information about all files is held (on NTFS volumes) and without it you wouldn't be able to find anything on a disk. It isn't specific to Win8. Use CC Wipe Free Space/Wipe MFT to clear those entries, or read my link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
