I got a transaction interrupted and when I try again I was having error with objects that were empty or corrupted, following another question I delete all the empty files and when I run
git fsck --full
I got this error:
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
Checking objects: 100% (48774/48774), done.

How can I fix this problem?

Your repository is already broken. Don't break it any further without first making sure nobody can access it except you, making a backup (tar, rsync) of the repository and first trying the commands in a copy of the repository. All the files in .git are gone!
Here's an example of recovering the master branch: The reflog in .git/logs/HEAD can show you which branch you had last checked out. This can help you update the HEAD ref. If you do not have any reflogs, you can still recover refs by looking at your commit objects.
This is one of the very few times where touching files inside .git is OK. If you know which branch you had checked out, you can simply put that information inside .git/HEAD. I had the master branch checked out before deleting the HEAD file. If you don't know which branch (or even commit in detached HEAD state) you had checked out, try a few.
The reflog in .git/logs/HEAD can show you which branch you had last checked out. This can help you update the HEAD ref. If you do not have any reflogs, you can still recover refs by looking at your commit objects. If a commit has no descendants, it could be at the tip of a branch, so a ref should point to it.
git gc --aggressive will clean up unnecessary files and optimize the local repository.
You can verify that the problem is fixed with:
git fsck --full
What worked for me to fix this "broken link" error was the answer from sehe listed here in response to a question about how to fix an unable to find <insert sha1 code here> error.
Like Adam said, recover the object from another repository/clone.
On a 'complete' Git database:
git cat-file -p a47058d09b4ca436d65609758a9dba52235a75bd > tempfileand on the receiving end:
git hash-object -w tempfile
One important addition would be that between step 1 and 2, it is important to directly transfer the file from one location to the other. In my experience, it didn't work to move the tempfile using Git push and pull.
