inode data corrupted

[David Howells]

I've found a corrupted inode on my root ext2 partition, and ext2ed shows:

i_mode               = 25755 (0x649b)   octal = 062233 -w--wx-wx
i_uid                = 3621 (0xe25)
i_size               = 813892114
i_atime              = 2590066260       Thu Dec 23 08:22:44 1915
i_ctime              = 1999214142       Mon May  9 02:15:42 2033
i_mtime              = 3372617645       Wed Oct  9 16:45:49 1940
i_dtime              = 0                Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 1970
i_gid                = 46204 (0xb47c)
i_links_count        = 1 (0x1)
i_blocks             = 1211272292

I'm not sure how this happened, but I'd like to get rid of it (it used to be
an empty directory). It may have something to do with the version of linux I'm
running (2.2.14pre2) or with the fact that internal support just switched my
computer off rather than shutting it down properly over the new year period.

Any idea how I can clear it out and delete it? I've tried various things
through ext2ed, but I've not had any success in persuading it to change
things.

Thanks,
