You're completely stuffed, then. There's nothing you can safely do
except leave these dodgy files intact.
Is there an application I could use to remove them and free the
space on the disk, or should I run chkdisk or fsck first?
I think that you have to boot into windows and try to run chkdsk to
repair
the filesystem.

I believe the risk to the remaining data is low, but I believe it is
present. chkdsk has no more warranty than any other software.
Stroller.
