Thanks Paul. Actually, after I'd sent this, I woke up in the middle of
the night and thought "Ah! DiscKnight to the rescue."

A follow up. The Check output has
* 5893 objects in map not referenced by directories
but that number changes each time I run a check.

Do you have the latest version of DiscKnight? I believe v1.55 is the
latest. If not, update here: https://armclub.org.uk/products/discknight/
It's as though it keeps repairing them & then finding them again.
The machine is a Raspberry Pi4 with RISC OS 5.28. The disc is an SSD
SCSI named PiHard.
It has 42 GB free so I can't see why DiscKnight can't create a Lost &
Found directory unless there is that much corruption, which seems
unlikely as the machine is working perfectly and the broken directory has
now gone.
I tried *Verify PiHard and in theblink of an eye it reported Verified OK
so either the SSD is not being checked or the disc is fine.
I'm puzzled.
Is there a phantom Lost+Found directory somewhere?

I would suggest getting in touch with "DiscKnight Support"

Now I've done that. It found 4 faults . 2 it has repaired but 2 it
seemingly can't.
I re-ran the check & repair options several times.

If I do "Free" on the drive now it reports that it has used 112GB of its 112GB with 175 Mbytes left. Just before the last run with DiscKnight it
was 70 GB. Something seems to have trampled all over it.
Oooh er! Spookily, the Lost+Found file has mysteriously now manifested itself.
That must be taking up he space. I shall investigate it then delete as necessary. Why it was apparently hidden before I cannot fathom.

Pi now booting correctly with Choices from backup. DiscKnight reports
disc is good.
Hard disc still nearly full. There must be lots of stuff I can't
see/access.
maybe I didn't re-boot after on of the several DiscKnight repairs I did
& now whatever isthere can't be referenced. Hmmmnnn. A puzzle.

Maybe my best plan is to manual copy everything I need off the main drive
to a backup disc, then format the main drive and put it all back again.
No mean task.
If the main drive is formatted, will the machine start so I can put everything back. Hmmmm. I wish I knew more about these things instead of having to ask silly questions.

Are you using any sort of safe delete program, which isn't actually
deleting stuff?
!DiscSpace is very useful to work out where stuff is hiding. http://www.mw-software.com/software/discspace/discspace.html

Thanks Druck. That's done it. I use Fred Gaut'es Transient. DiscSpace
flagged up that the directory where I keep the discarded files purports
to be 72GB so it's not shedding them or constantly trapping things I'm
trying to get rid of. . That's where the original broken directory was. Tomorrow's job is to see how I can get rid of it.
Never mind tomorrow, just tried closing Transient & deleting its saved
stuff. Didn't take long. Whoopee! My missing Gigabytes have re-appeared. Can't thank you enough for the tip re DiscSpace.

Have you tried !DiscSpace to see what is on the disc?

Close down all running applications, perform another repair, and reboot immediately after, that will ensure DiscKnight and RISC OS agree what
is on there.

I've deleted it but hard disc still reports it's nearly full. Can't yet
see why.
Does * Verify work with 5.28 on an SSD.
