The command "fsutil dirty query" is a command used in Windows operating systems to determine if a volume (usually a disk) has been marked as "dirty" by the file system.
In the Windows file system, when a volume is marked as dirty, it means that it hasn't been properly dismounted or has uncompleted file system operations. This could be due to an improper shutdown, power failure, or other issues.
By running the command "fsutil dirty query", you can check if a selected volume is marked as dirty. If the volume is marked as dirty, it indicates that the file system needs to be checked for errors and repaired before it can be safely used.
