If you're talking about a hex mesh - Edit Blocks > Fix Inverted Blocks. Then recompute the mesh. Should do it.

Look out for double vertices. Sometimes there are two vertices at the same position. This happens if you get confused during cutting blocks. Let ICEM show you the number of the vertices, so you can see if this is the reason. If it is, merge the vertices.

If the negative elements are very few, delete them using the quality histogram and select the check mesh button to fix those uncovered volumes!
