ERROR_CORRUPT_LOG_CLEARED
chkdsk cleared a corruption log and its former records are no longer current.
ERROR_CORRUPT_LOG_CLEARED indicates this condition. This status accompanies a maintenance transition in which chkdsk has processed or invalidated the previous corruption records. Consumers must stop treating those entries as an active list and obtain the new volume health state.
Where the result appears
- post-chkdsk file-system health reporting.
- management agents that cache corruption records.
- repair workflows comparing pre-scan and post-scan state.
- volume monitoring immediately after offline maintenance.
What to collect
- the complete chkdsk result and whether repairs succeeded.
- the new volume dirty and health state.
- fresh scan results after remount.
- which cached corruption entries were invalidated.
Handling and recovery
Refresh health information from the volume and archive the old list only as historical evidence. If chkdsk reported failures, follow those results; the fact that the log was cleared does not override an unsuccessful repair.
Common misinterpretation
“Cleared” describes the tracking log. It should not be simplified to “all storage problems are fixed” without checking the chkdsk outcome.
