Save your recovered stuff to some other drive.
Wipe this one clean.
Reformat.
(assuming of course this is not the OS drive)

I don't think my question came to you clearly. I have recovered all the files but a lot of them are damaged and I have to go through each and every single file to see which one still opens. So is there a software that can remove all the damaged files and leave only the ones that still open?

Ah.

No, I do not believe that exists.
Even worse, some may be "damaged", yet still open.
For instance, 1/2 of a jpg.
