Could I delete them or not?
These files are generated by the fsck linux utility, which is the equivalent of Windows/DOS CHKDSK command.
They are the recovery data that it finds, like file data with no reference in FAT table, etc, so it converts it in a recovery file for you to analyze and recover...
If you don't need to recover lost files (Which is most of the time), then delete them.
If they keep returning then format your SD card. I had them when I was trying 4K blocksize but gone once I moved to 32K.
32K is my usual default but I was just trying something out.
FSCKxxx.REC means File System check record.
Usually are created if you are not closing down the operating system the "normal" way, like you take the battery out. Linux always check the file system at bootup and if something "not-normal" (any left overs from improper close down) are found then a FSCHxxx.rec file is created to be analysed by the system administrator.
How to recover those FSCK files?
Does anyone know how to recover the file fsck.rec??? help me please
If you are in your Android phone, just tap the fsck then a pop up dialogue will appear saying open file as music, video, image etc. Just select anything since you are not sure what kind of file is it, if you think it is a music select music then if it not plays just select another file type. Then rename tha file, change the .rec with the right file extension if it is a music change it to .mp3 , .m4a etc. If its a video change it to .mp4 , . flv etc. (sorry for my poor English)
I have transferred some pictures from my Android phone storage to my SD card many pics have been corrupted as FSCK0000.REC. Someone please help me to recover

Hi!
Look, one of the first things I have made with my new HTC Tattoo has been formatting the SD card. As soon as I realized what I had done, I turned off the phone, extracted the card, and using testdisk, I recovered its contents. They were:
Some example background images.
Some example music, with cover images
A pdf file, the instruction manual of the machine.
An executable, the sync program.
A large lot of .txt and .f files. Some of them contain image orientation data. The rest contain code.
The images and the music are not important. The pdf and the executable aren't too. But I am worried about those .f files. They look important! The phone is working fine, but...
Don't worry. There aren't any system files on the sdcard.
Howdy, couldn't find this anywhere
htc Advantage 7510 running MichyPrima ROM for years. Internal (built-in) flash drive developed one corrupt directory (the backup directory for SPB backup, natch) and got filled up, before this had plenty of room. The bad directory now appears to contain subdirectories and files with gobble-de-goop names, dates, etc. and when I try to delete any or all of them it tells me either that the file name contains illegal characters and therefor can't be deleted, or that the file is a system file and access is denied (of course the files are not write-protected). Trying to get at it and delete it while connected to an XP desktop also doesn't help because it is not recognized as an external drive, but rather as a sub-directory of a "mobile device", so I get similar errors. All other directories are fine, and most of my installed , configured software resides on this drive, along with a lot of data (I've got all that backed up to the desktop computer). I also removed some files from other directories to make some room just in case this was complicating things.
Is there some utility that will let me make an end-run around this and just delete the directory and its contents? I really don't want to format the entire drive and start over from nothing.
TIA for any advice!

Remove corrupted directory from internal flash drive checkout following link for more details.
This won't help.
As stated above, only the removable micro SD card can bee seen as a true external flash drive, not the intenal memory.
The only solution would be a Windows Mobile tool similar to Scandisk.
Now you really can't find anything to solve your problem, you can still backup all your data and hard reset your device : it should set it back clean.
I kind of concluded that myself. Just hoping someone knows of that elusive utility that will let me work on the drive as if it were a regular removable drive. I REALLY don't want to go the formatting route.
Hello there,
I have recently experienced a very serious problem in my Z1 running Lollipop. I lost every single file located in my internal and external sd card, such as photos, .obb files from /android folder and everything else. The problem occured when I connected the phone to PC via MTP, and deleted the, phenomenically, empty folder tree from my internal sd card '/emulated/legacy'. After that, Windows Explorer didn't respond, and after restarting my PC, I realised that both memories were empty. I immediately disconnected my phone, run a file explorer and experienced the same results. I even rebooted to TWRP, which approved the loss of my data.
What I think that caused the problem: The deletion of the 'empty' folder tree, as it corresponds with the one located in root/storage/ of my phone, and appears to be the mount location of both internal and external sd card, and which, somehow, made it way to the insternal sd card.
What I did: I immediately removed the MicroSD card, and powered off the phone, in order to prevent the 'free' space to be overwritten. After that I created two system dumps. One of userdata.img (mmcblk0p12), and one of the whole system mmcblk0, in order to try recovering my data. Then, I installed Ubuntu and TestDisk to check the two dumps. What the program recovered were the thumbnails from the /DICM/.thumbnails folder, some images and videos from programs cache (such as ads), and even some tagged faces from pictures of the Album application, but not the pictures themselves. I also tried the same process, but by using Recuva on Windows but nothing changed. Finally, what I tried, was mounting the insternal memory as mass storage under Ubuntu, by using Go-mptfs, but I wasn't succesfull as I experienced problems during the installation and device mounting process. I didn't find any scripts for Lollipop in order to swap the two partitions on the device itself.
Is there anything else I can do?
I have a LOT of music on my phone (40 GB) I try to be meticulous about labeling the files so I can find them quickly.
Some of my files were mislabeled. These are all on my external micro sD card. It won't let me change the files with my phone connected to the computer and opening via file explorer. I drag the file on to my desktop them rename. Then I delete the file on the SD card then drag the new renamed and/or new ID3 Tag bag into the SD card. The process goes with no problems. I then restart my phone. For some reason the file is relabeled properly but stays in the same position? Any help please. Also, any help why I can't rename directly on the device using file explorer or even change the ID3 tag? Was never this way with any other phone?
Thank You!
I forgot to mention I have the ZE551KL model my computer is Windows 10 operating system the files are in the correct order when I go into the file manager program is just the Music app that came with the phone is where the problem is.
I save Songs and Videos in Songs Folder and Videos Folder created in MicroSd Card inserted in my Samsung M30s.But they disappear after some time.How to keep them secure in these folders?
Maybe you have some service enabled on your phone that wipes memory from files not used for a certain period of time, or moves them to the cloud. You know your phone best yourself. Did you connect the microSD as external memory or internally?
Which might be that services?Can you name some for an example?I connected the MicroSd as External Memory.
Look first in this application, where you have selected a directory in the external memory.
You can also move files to another location on the microSD yourself before they disappear in the location where they disappear.

Thank you ze7zez.First I shall try moving these files to already existing folders in the Sdcard watch whether they are disappearing.Afterwards I shall report the result here.
Do not use directories that the system or applications have posed.
Create a DATA directory yourself and move files to it.
Thank you ze7zez,
As you advised,I moved the Video files to the Movies folder and the Audio files to the Music folders.You know these folders are designated by the Phone itself whien I inserted the MicroSd Card for the first time.Then I watched for a day to see whether the files are disappeared from these folders.I found that those files are there still in these folders.Now I want to know why these files vanish from the folders created by me?
Describe /the actions you perform/name the applications you use/ that place files in directories where they later disappear.
I used File Manager Plus Application to move video files to Videos Folder and Audio files to Songs Folder.These Videos and Songs Folders were created by myself in the Sdcard.And these files were moved from the Send Anywhere Folder in the Sdcard itself.And to my dismay this Send Anywhere Folder itself was also created by myself in the Sdcard.Also the files in this folder remain in tact.They won't disappear.
So did the files disappear from the "Send Anywhere" directory?
What application placed the files in "Send Anywhere"?
The files did not disappear from the Send Anywhere Folder.They are still there since 3 days.This SendAnywhere directory got these files by transferring from another phone using Send Anywhere App.
