Some of the files recovered may be corrupted or have incomplete data

Component: scalpel.x86_64 2.1-0.rc1.2.47815c2.fc32.8 @fedora

Case: files deleted today on Fedora from an external drive formatted in FAT32, by invoking shift + del. Location on my system of the default configuration file:

$ rpm -ql scalpel | grep '.conf'
/etc/scalpel.conf

Recovering operation allowed command scalpel -c /home/yk/scalpel.conf -o /home/yk/P.../ /dev/sdb1.

Some the recovered PDF files encounter this issue while attempting to open them:

Strangely some files deleted one year ago could be recovered properly as they were readable but not the last deleted. I am fully ready to investigate by my own in order to recover that last one. I guess I would need knowledge that you would provide if you wish it.
