Hello, all,

Please respond if you know how to delete the "system Volume Information"
folder on C Drive after turning off the "System Restore" function for all
drives?

Notice that the "system Volume Information" folder on C Drive always says
inaccessible.

Thanks!

Xiaobin.

If you reboot after turning off the System Restore feature, the
file is automatically deleted.

Hi,

It should disappear after rebooting with SR turned off. However, if it does
not, and you get an "access denied" error message when selecting that
folder, take ownership of the folder and then delete it.
