My C: is marked as dirty.. how i can make it marked as undirty ?

Hello. Today. i am was trying to delete a file
when i am trying. it says: cannot delete because corrupted and unreadable
ok. my problem isn't that.. Nevermind on this !
My problem is. when i tried to search for a solution for it. they said check if your c: marked as dirty. i don't know but i am sure someone made a command in the cmd. to mark c: as dirty. JUST TELL ME. HOW I CAN MAKE IT UNDIRTY. JUST GIVE ME A COMMAND OR A SOLUTION FOR IT. PLS DON'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE

A dirty drive usually shows up at boot. You get a message that one or more drives need checking - press any key to stop the check. It's best to let the check run - can take a while and it's not a good idea to abort the check while it is running.

After the check has finished, there should be a message 'drive C:\ is clean' or similar.

Dual booting with W10 can occasionally show a false dirty status (from Win7) due to 10's hybrid shutdown state being seen as an error condition.

I've seen cmd methods of changing dirty status, but not a good idea IMHO.

This message is typically the result of an improper shutdown which could leave the file system in an inconsistent state. This needs to be dealt with, whatever the cause. Do as wasnot was suggested.
