STATUS_JOURNAL_DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
The volume change journal is in the delete phase
This status belongs to the NTFS/ReFS change-journal path. When deletion of a USN journal is in progress, operations that read, create or modify that journal cannot proceed normally.
The condition can persist across restarts until the deletion finishes. Sync engines and indexers should treat their journal cursor as potentially invalid and plan to rescan.
What to inspect
- Check whether FSCTL_DELETE_USN_JOURNAL was issued.
- Do not assume the old USN cursor remains valid after deletion completes.
- Fall back to full enumeration or provider-specific reconciliation.
