This is pretty normal in case of powering off /resetting a system
while the file system was active / being written to. In such
situations you may lose data (the active files), but the garbage
collector is supposed to clean up this mess.

Normally you don't have to fix this. Just give the garbage collector
thread enough time to clean up before resetting the system again. And
try to avoid to have files active (open for writing) when resetting
the system.
