That I understand, but this discussion was about purging the MFT of names of files that are already deleted...isn't it? Therefore, if the file does not exist, what difference does it make if the MFT still contains it's name? After reading some on the MFT, I have learned that some very small files may only exist in the MFT, so I'm uncertain how this would apply to them, but I think that the majority of the files are external to it.
