How to Fix "tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid" OneDrive Error

If it did not work for you, try rebooting into safe mode (hold shift and click on restart). I did that and it finally worked for me.

"Look in the description" does not contain instructions on how to run chkdsk on other drives, as mentioned in the video audio. chkdsk E: /r /f, for example, is the method.

It worked! Thank you so much.

4h hasta que encontré este video, thx🙏🏼

It worked for me, thanks!

bro saved my life

Thank you, your solution fixed the error.

2023 and this still works, thanks. I printed a PDF in Word to a OneDrive folder and it became corrupted with the error in the title. Chkdsk fixed it. Took about 20 mins. Afterwards the PDF itself was fine and openable/syncable.

Superrrr thanks

great bro, good content. i started exactly

Thank you, it worked for me!

Thank you, it worked for me.

It worked for me! Took about 8 mins to restart and now i can edit the file again. Thanks!

Worked for me. Fanstatic !!! Thank you

You assume that I am an administrator, which I am not :-(. However, the error still persists.
Any ideas to fix this not being an admin?

you saved my life thanks

But where is the info for when the onedrive is stored on a different drive? I don't see it in the description

Damn I cannot believe that was the issue. Stopped running chkdsk on SSDs a long time ago and forgot my external HDD which has one drive located there. Thanks for the solution.

cool! didnt work

Thank you man ! Finally a normal video that really heps !

Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Saved me!

thanks worked like a charm, but as others also mentioned time after restart is quite long so you better do it at a convenient time not like me in the middle of work :)

How long does the system take 2 restart, its been 15 mins and its still restarting.....

This worked perfectly. 'Noice' chef's kiss

Cheers for letting me know this would take 3 hours and I cannot cancel it.

Gracias! Esto fue justo lo que necesitaba.

It worked perfect. Thank you so much

I'm not sure why would anyone dislike this video, a life saver, thank you!

I have been pulling my hair out for hours to learn how to fix this. I have tried so many things, none of them works.
But this works wonderfully and so so simple at the same time.
Thank you so much for the help.

holy shit, this worked like a charm

It works, Thank you so much

it worked for me great thanks!

Legend it is worked

it's work pefectly, tks!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the help. It had solved the problem of my txt file syncing and unable to move out of a file location. However, I have made done some action prior to running the chkdsk. I went to my onedrive account on my browser to delete the problematic file and once chkdsk is completed, that file is automatically in my recycle bin . Deleted the file, no issues found. :)

Doesn't work :[

it works perfectly

Worked! Thank you so much!

It works, thank you!

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

chkdsk /r /f

Life saver

Great recommendation. Worked seamlessly. Took a while to restart though (40 mins) with 5 check phases. Maybe you should add this detail in the video as to what to expect with the restart. Thanx a lot.

master... it worked to me

Worked for me. I had to specify chkdsk c: /r /f but it ran on reboot. Once in windows I could delete the file. I previously downloaded the file just fine in ondrive online. So I just replaced the file and started up OneDrive, let it sync the new copy and I'm good to go.

I was thrilled that this action proved to be a solution for me for this particular error I was experiencing which was so frustrating because I couldn't delete or rename the affected files, not too mention the constant OneDrive prompting that there were sync errors.

It worked, thank you. I had issues that I couldn't delete a huge folder with plenty of inodes due to a partial sync interrupted. After restauration that you mentioned, I could manually require all folders to be available on my PC, and once all of them had the strong Green check, it was possible to delete the whole thing. Before that, with partial sync, the folder deletion was locked. Big thanks !

The problem with this solution is that it need Admin previlage. It not really helpingIf I am just a user (not admin), why would this error occur in the first place? It really sucks!
