    When my WHS box started rebooting every 2h i wanted to migrate to a winXP box. 
    So i installed winxp and i see all the content on the drives. But i get duplicates on multiple drives and on 1 of the dup drives i get "The file cannot be accessed by the system.".

    So the files dont exist but i see them in explorer. I checked the properties of one of the drives and i got 2,26TB on a 500GB drive.

    Is there an easy way to remove all the files that do not exist or do i need to remove them by hand?

    FYI:  If you had Duplication enabled on a share, you will see two copies of each file that was in that share (one copy on each drive.)

    I did not have Duplication enabled due to insufficient drive space

    what is located in [Drive]:\Shares? it may be the folder im looking in...

    Those are "tombstones", not actual files.  The actual files are located elsewhere.  Please see the link Chris Cupler pointed to for details.
