chkdsk - Size is larger than "size on disk" in NTFS

I have many files on my NTFS partition whose sizes are larger than the corresponding size on disk.


file size properties



  • In hex view the file's end (often more then half of the file) is filled up with 0x00.

  • When I copy the file, the copied one's size on disk is larger than its size. However the file is still largely filled with unnecessary 0x00.

  • chkdsk found no errors.

  • NTFS compression is turned off.


How can I fix these files?
