I have all my Movies, music and picture stored in my F: drive. But System Volume Information folder took extra 22GB space of F: drive. Will it create any problem if I remove it? And how can I remove it?

no compton...and then why it is hidden and not accessible? I can not even see this folder without this software.. even attrib -s -h -a *.* /s /d cmd didn't unhide this folder.

thanks spark.. but don't you think it is too much. after all it is not a system drive. I have got some useless files like movies and music in it. my E: drive's system volume folder is only 153 kb.

These are all your System Restore points. To delete, turn off system restore and turn it back on and the create a new system restore point. This will free up space.
(Warning you will lose all your old system restore points by doing this)

How can I take full Ownership of these files? I can't delete those files without ownership permission..

I understand, let see if we can get some disk space back:
Run CCleaner: https://www.piriform.com/products Do not use the registry cleaner inside CCleaner Also have a look at this Microsoft article on how to free up space: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17421/windows-free-up-drive-space |
