Hi all

During drive imaging using FTK Imager, I asked it to export a list of files in CSV format. The columns it creates are
FileName
FullPath
Size
Created
Modified
Accessed
IS DELETED

Does anyone know what causes the IS DELETED column to have a YES entry for a particular file? I show all kinds of paths for the files that have a YES entry - TIF, other temporary areas etc.

Thanks all - have a safe weekend!

It means the files $mft or FAT entry is set for reuse but not re-allocated and that the file data on the disk has not been totally overwritten.
EnCase gets its information from the files $mft or FAT entry and displays an icon like a blank no smoking sign for the file.
