I'm using Linux. I was copying a huge file into my external hard drive (NTFS) when my computer crashed. After booting up again, I realized the free space on my external hard drive has dramatically decreased. I calculated the size of the folders on my external hard drive, but the used space was much greater than the size of everything that I could see in File Manager.

In these situation, I usually would make a backup everything and format my external storage, but that's not an option here.

How can I delete the corrupted file on my external hard drive?

I ran chkdsk in a Windows machine. It solved my problem. ntfsfix or fsck did not help at all.
