    Can't delete folder because "The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid"


    When trying to delete a folder that someone synced to their OneDrive, it gives the following error:"The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid"I've already chkdsk'd the C drive and there's no issues. I've tried to robocopy a blank folder of the same name over it and robocopy gives the same error mentioned above. rmdir /s says "The directory is not empty". I've booted into Safe Mode and tried again to delete the file, rmdir, and the robocopy again, same result. Have tried all this both from a standard cmd and an elevated cmd with the same results. OneDrive sync was disabled for

    The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid

    I have certain folders in my OneDrive that I'd like to delete but I am unable to do so. Attempting to access these folders would give the error "The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid".

    I have attempted to use Window's Error Checking through right clicking drive C, Properties, Tools, Error Checking.

    I have also attempted to follow solutions found online such as using chkdsk and the DISM functions through command prompt.

    Currently, I receive the message "Scanning and repairing drive C" on every boot but I am unsure if this process is actually being executed because it does not show any progress bar/percentages. The message pops up for a couple of seconds before my pc boots as normal.

    How am I suppose to resolve this?

    The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid, chkdsk not working

    Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

    The error message you get is caused by a problem with OneDrive sync. It could be that the folder you're trying to access is corrupt, or that there is an issue with other system files preventing OneDrive from syncing successfully.

    Check this link for reference. Do skip the ones you have already done so far.

    Thank you.
