what about deleted files? Do they eventually get flushed from the cache?
- wander_homer 3y agoFiles get deleted immediately, the USN Journal only keeps track of the events (including delete events). It's basically a log of all filesystem events (up until a certain point in time, due to size restrictions).
- Someone 3y agoThe journal has data about deletions, too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/fsutil-usn https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrat...: “As files, directories, and other NTFS objects are added, deleted, and modified, NTFS enters records into the USN change journal, one for each volume on the computer.”
