This looks like Windows checking C: drive, If I’m remembering what that looks like. It takes a while but is benine though you may want to make sure that your boot drive is okay.

Chkdsk is cleaning up your partition. You might have a bad hard drive, or there was bad data on it with orphaned clusters of data that no longer has a parent pointing to it.

My eyes say “moist” but my hand says ‘strike an orphan”
When you delete a file nothing happens to the actual data on the disk. What happens is the record for that file in the file allocation table is changed to “we deleted that” and all of the addresses on the disk where the pieces of that file are stored are marked as “empty feel free to use this”.
Sometimes the “this is empty now” step never happens and the disk thinks there is a piece of something important sitting there. One of the things chkdsk does is verify the file chunks on the disk belong to a file that still exists, if not, they get deleted. If it’s not sure they get converted into files so you can delete them later.
TL;DR
When your disk gets hungry for space it grinds up the orphans for food.

I cried when this happened to me. I was so sad to see them leave, but it did a good job of recovering the headstones later. So so so many orphans.

Translating to english what the people talking about chkdisk said, you’re dealing with file corruption here.

So many orphans without a record.
