Is it OK to delete the contents of the Restore Folder?

Hi, I have an urgent need to free up space on my systems drive. There is 1Gb
in a folder called D:>System Volume Information>_restore>RP92. I have
turned off system restore but can I delete the contents of RP92?

Hi

If you have turned SR off those files will be deleted after you reboot your
system. Are you using a 3rd party program instead of SR?

Hi

And SR is turned off? If you have access to that folder you can try
deleting the file, but I'm not sure why a reboot didn't clear it.
