IIRC are files where the owner has gone set to have "SUPERVISOR" as owner.
In that case, just use NDIR from a dos prompt. Type NDIR /? For help.

Nope, the owner shows up as 'N/A' - see TID 10019105 for a couple of Ndir
syntaxes to clear the problem

You can do this with DSRAZOR for eDirectory/NDS and NetWare. Try the applet
called "Disk Space in use, Files Owned/Unowned" in the Examine Servers/Disks
section of the DSRAZOR Console. Select the server, then the volume, then
use the "Find Files with NO Owner" button. An evaluation is available from:
