delete personal saved files in the system volume information.

recently, I saved a few personal secret files in the information system volume with the intention to hide other users. now when I try to delete this file, I can't delete. Please help me with detailed instructions to delete this file without affecting other files in the SVI. Thank you

Hi Lokhojohn,

Right click on the folder "System Volume Information"
1 Select 'Properties' and then click on the 'Security' tab in the next dialog box
2. click on 'Edit' and then on the button 'Add '.
3. put in your user name in the following box and click on 'OK '.
4. This will grant access to the folder "System Volume Information" username
Then click on the "Start" button and then in the "Run" box (the box with the magnifying glass"at the bottom of entry the following entry and press on)
CMD
Once the Windows CMD appears, type in the following commands:
CD "C:\System Volume Information.
del "I want to file delete.txt".
Who's going to get rid of one of the files to delete
Continue the above command for all the files you want to delete.
A good tip is that you can actually drag the files you want to delete in the CMD window to save typing you the full name. Enter del in the CMD followed by a space, and then drag the file that you want to remove in the CMD window and it will automatically add the name of the file for you.
Follow steps 1 through 4, once more when you're finished - but this time remove your username
Hope this helps
Martin

    Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

    You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

  • Cannot delete the System Volume Information trash

    I am running Windows xp on a Dell computer and I recently removed the System Volume Information folder on an external hard drive after the deactivation of the restoration of the system for this drive.  I don't remember how it happened, but the said folder ended up in the trash.  Now every time that I try to empty the trash, I get an error message indicating that access to the file is denied and it cannot be deleted.  I can see the folder in the trash, but I can restore it or delete it.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but unfortunately none of them allowed me to remove the stubborn system folder.  I had to start the computer in Mode safe, gives me full control over the folder to the trash (even though I am the administrator) and then finally was able to remove it. For some reason any Security tab does not appear when you talk about the Properties dialog box, unless you are using safe mode.

  • HP steam: strange files in "C:\system volume information.

    I have re-installed Windows 8.1 on my HP net book successfully.

  • Can I remove random photos in the system volume information?

    I understand very well this file.  I rarely restore, but sometimes I do.  The problem is that some files, aka viruses that have been removed, take place that I prefer to use for something else, aka my plans f #.  Can I delete random files in this folder?  I understand that I can remove the control panel restore point, but I want only to remove a specific file.  In fact, I don't know if this file is the file that I want to delete because of all the file names.  I made fair carsick enter this folder.  I want to just delete large files.  So the question is simply: is there something important it?

    System Restore uses log files to keep track of things, if you try to restore a point and System Restore detects that which is missing files or that it has been tampered with the restore point will fail.  Bert Kinney, one of the greatest experts on the restoration of the system, explains that the individual restore points can not be removed because... "Each restore points is chained (or related) as well as the previous restore points." When you choose to restore a system all him previous restore point are required to perform a restore, so if one is missing the chain will be broken and cause all the restore points are corrupt. At this point, all restore points will have to correct the corruption. So the best advice is DON'T touch the content of the System Volume Information folder. " http://bertk.mvps.org/html/Tips.html#8

    If you removed a virus if the deletion was successful and the system now works fine the best thing to do is to purge ALL restore points after having removed the virus successfully.

    You're overthinking this and you're too attached to restore points, if the computer is running well at the moment and if it has been so for a week or two then you can get rid of and then restore points create a new.  Set maximum disk usage that is suitable for the points of restore and you will recover some of your disk space for another use.

    In his blog Raymond says that 'folder contains casual interference could cause problems with the correct operation of the information system.  It could, but not necessarily cause problems.  For all its value, you can disable the system restore and other services that might use the IVR (indexing, Volume Shadow Copy & Distributed Link Tracking Service) (services that you might not use anyway) and then delete the entire folder, Windows simply creates a new brilliant when you restart!  Then when you restart the system restore or other services that use the folder they will just repopulate the record with their files.  People who make use of indexing service will generally not want to clear the folder because it takes a lot of "disk churning" to build a large catalog of indexation.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista: Rebuild the system volume information folder

    Greetings to everyone.

    (1) the Crypto ransomware locker has done the thing is on a friends laptop last week. This is a laptop HP DV900 Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, we have re-installed Vista, from the recovery partition, before attempting to restore the system, using the system restore. It is my understanding that the system volume information folder, contains files, such as excel and word files, which can be restored, but they are stored by Vista, in a special encrypted way.

    If I could get it back or if I got the complete information system volume, would be possible to replace the current and to restore the system to a time before the ransomware hit?

    (2) in fact, I've used a file recovery program and was able to recover a huge file with the name:

    {11d89a13-09a9-11e4-9917-cb6a370b41f2} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

    This file is approximately 1.99 GB, and is dated on 17/07/2014. I suspect that the virus deployed on 18/07/2014 as the most important Excel and word files have the date of last modification of 18/07/2014. And those files that have changed on the 18/07/2014 cannot be open - unless I have change the extensions of excel to .csv file, in which case excel files open, but the info is still obviously encrypted.  OK, so I have the part of the system volume information folder content, which seem to be of the part that contains the files there, as this is a fairly large file.

    My question is this: is a reconstruction of the folder system volume information, based on this possible of the file? In other words, using this file I have cancelled/recovered, can we restore Vista from this file?

    Thank you for your time.

    You cannot use the system restore to recover files from the user.  Restore points would be zero because of the new facility.  Update of installation dates would be irrelevant as well as software installations.  The new installation files will take precedence.

    Wait for the BitLocker encryption to finish. It does get rid of data left behind from deleted files. The 6 GB is left to allow you to continue working while encryption is performed.

  • Access to the files on the system volume

    How can I access the system on my external hard drive volume information.  I tried everything, but it says "access denied." I tried to delete some restore points but it says access denied.  I think that there is a virus hidden in the files, because I can't access, I can't remove all the restore points (around 160)

    I did and shot of restore points on my external hard drive.  Now what?

    Now, they should be gone. :-)
    I would keep the system restore disabled on the external hard drive.
  • How to remove an infected file in the folder SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION on T43?

    Respected Sir/Madam,

    Recently, I have bee affected by a series of blue screen errors. Norton AntiVirus and other well-known software just crash. Update of virus definitions files are reported as being corrupted. Fortunately, I used this SPYWARE DOCTOR which founf a file infected by HACKIT name. ROOTKIT in the SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, which is hidden from the usual interface of WINXP.

    Please suggest some methods on how to DELETE the infected on this hidden folder?

    IF I MAKE THE HIDDEN VISIBLE THROUGH THE IBM R & R PARTITION, IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DATA ON THE DRIVE? ALSO, AFTER YOU DELETE THE INFECTED FILE BY USING THIS METHOD, IF I SWITCH IT BACK TO HIDDEN, WILL BE IS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT HARD DISK CONTENT?

    pleas suggest alternative methods to get rid of this infection.

    Thank you!

    SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION is your Restore.As system an alternative to do a factory restore, try flushing the system restore, then you can start fresh. This procedure will not delete your saved data and apps like restoration to the State of the plant would be.

    In order to remove the XP System Restore Points:
    (On XP, you must be logged in as an administrator to do.)
    Go to start > run and type msconfig and press ENTER.
    When opens in msconfig, click Launch System Restore.
    On the next page, click System Restore settings on the left.
    Check the box enable the system restore.

    Reset. Reassemble and turn on system restore. A new Restore Point is created.

    So, if you still have problems, it would mean that you have active running malware, or you have run at the same time a scanner that was falsely reported as this file, please come back. Often our malware removal tools are captured by General scanners as "Hacktools.

  • How can you "Invisible", for example "System Volume Information", or "Content.IE5", files be read?

    I have entered in Options files and "Show the hidden files and folders", the value erased "Hide protected operating system files" (and confirmed the potential danger in the pop - up window by changing the files of this type). The problem is, all the programs and questionable scripts see have no problem modifying files that are located in these folders, or using them as a repository for their own excrement.

    I suspect that, because even the unsophisticated malware infections can bypass this 'protection', it is not a block of real access to NTFS.  It's just an arbitrary thing to prevent "the user", which certainly is not always the best judgment. (They buy and place important information about a system designed to be as open to the 'hacking' than that of Windows.)

    Utilities offline, as in recovery, will be able to view them?

    The System Volume Information folder is where system restore points are saved.  As a general rule, you can erase it by disabling the function system restore, reboot, then turn it back on again.
    (Right click on 'My Computer'-> properties-> tab "System Restore").

    If you absolutely have to dwell there, see the following article:

    These are the two typical Windows system folders. $Recycle.bin is exactly that, the files in the folder are actually moved to when removing other parts of the car. He installed this folder on each drive that you see when you open the Recycle bin icon on the desktop.

    System Volume Information is a system folder and contains all the files that reside on the disk that are included in food, distributed link tracking Service points, content indexing Services and Volume Snapshot Service. This deletion would be a very good way to break your computer.
