recycle bin $I file header 0xff

Question

I was curious about the $I file while creating the 'Recycle Bin' viewer for a university project.

I understand that the first four digits of the $I file represent operating system information.

When I looked up my file, almost all the files were 0x02.

However, the header of one file is 0xff.
What does this 0xff mean?

And I want to know the list of each header and operating system information.

I apologize for my poor English.
