The NTFS directory is a special file that contains names of files and subdirectories. Disk clusters that belong to a directory are known as directory nodes. Directory nodes have a slack (space from the end of directory data up to the end of a cluster). On FAT/exFAT file systems, file names are stored in directory entries. Slack of directory nodes or directory entries may still contain names of deleted files, as well as other deleted data.
