What happened when you restarted the pc was chkdsk ran and found broken
chains/ lost clusters, then created *.chk files of them so you can delete
them and regain the otherwise lost drive space. They're not really meant
to be recoverable files.

Still, they sometimes are and there are easier ways to find out than using
an editor:

It's free, it worked for some didn't for others but maybe worth a try.
