During a routine trawl through the ext3 files, I found some astronomical file sizes, billions and billions of GB.
They also has strange user and group names.
I can not delete these "weird files" (the term used by the operating system utilities).
Here are a few examples. The original files were created on Windoze 98 version 2 circa 2001.

stat ....... A "normal" file looks this this example:

rm: cannot remove `00002437': Operation not permitted
However using 'lsattr 00002437' to expose the flags, then removing
the flags with 'chattr -{flag) 00002437' eventually permitted me to delete the file with 'rm 00002437'.
The remaining two files appear un-touchable.
lsattr 00002435
lsattr: Operation not supported While reading flags on 00002435
chattr -a 00002434.thm ('a' was a random choice)
chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on 00002434.thm
find . -inum 2411959 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: remove weird file `./00002435'? y
rm: cannot remove `./00002435': Operation not permitted
All advice, except to transfer everything to a new partition then reformat the bad partition (which I will do eventually), appreciated.
