so i just revisited some of my old software and found out most of it was corrupted
a month ago or so i backed up my data from a dying hard disk, it was at about 10% health
now i'm left with thousands of files and i don't know which are corrupted and which are not

the corrupted files are filled with zeros, i don't mean the number zero but \0 characters, 0x0, null
they have the same size they had before corruption, they are not empty

any way to find all such files so i can save up some space? thanks

You should be able to do it Linux by enumerating the files and and checking for presence of certain strings.
