  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

• 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:

  "Access to the System Volume Information folder"

  but do not forget that the locker room apply here (i.e. watch all you want, but do not touch anything).

• Windows error message "cannot find the file K:\$MFT or K:\System Volume Information.

  Original title: Windows Error Message.  Cannot locate the file K:\$MFT

  Periodically, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the file K:\$MFT or K:\System Volume Information.   In this case my computer loses contact with K (my backup drive).  The only way I can get the command back up and running is to shut it down, restart windows and then reconnect the drive.  I have absolutely no idea where, why, or what this message is not irritating and a nuisance.  How can I stop this?

  My problem is back and I guess that I does not after all.  It was suggested that more info on my system could help find answers.  I am running Windows XP. SP3.  My HD is 500 GB.  Intel Core 2 CPU.  6600 GHZ, 3 GB of Ram.

  In addition the cannot locate the message file, it sometimes indicates that a "delayed write failed" and I should save the K:\$MFT file also.

  As far as I can tell, I have solved my problem.  Windows 'Restore' was trying to save my disk backup for future use, and I think it's whence came the message.  I changed the settings to restore now ignores my backup disk and the problem has not happened since.  I hope it's the end of it.

• Why System Volume Information so great and why is it in several files?

  Recently, I ran a Disk Defragmenter on my Vista 32 bit. He had several reported System Volume Information folders. I read that it contains vital information in it, but I fear that it is in several folders and that the combined size of the files is 70 GB. 70 GB spread over about 20 cases doesn't seem right. If the size is not a result of a virus or something similar, it is possible to limit the size and recover some of the 70 GB system volume information folders now use?

  By default, the system restore takes up to 15% of the total capacity of your hard drive under Vista.

  http://www.vista4beginners.com/system-restore-space-used

  "Change the amount of space used by system restore.

  You can be interested in the above to save free space on the drive by changing the amount of disk space used by system restore...

  System Restore is a very useful feature of Windows Vista, but it has a drawback. After running for a few weeks, it can use a lot of space on your hard drive. With the default settings enabled, System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. For example, if you have a 250 GB hard drive, System Restore may end up using 37, 5 GB of it.

  See you soon.

• SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION & BASKET IN EACH DRIVE

  Hi, I use windows 8, in my newly purchased ACER netbook. After that I plugged into a USB port, I scanned the USB drive and found no virus. But after the transfer of some files, I noticed that every reader of my netbook shows two hidden files named "System Volume Information" & "Recycle Bin". It seems strange to me to have these hidden files in each car. However, if I mark on the option "Hide protected files" from the "folder option" in the Panel, they are not shown. My problem is that when I tried the solution of it on the internet, some websites it indicated that the presence of the virus in my pc. I want to know if it has nothing to do with the virus. I expect to correct information and the help of who knows this subject. Thanks in advance. :)

  It is not a virus, it is mandatory for all drives NTFS have these records.  You should go into your Folder Options and click on "Hide protected operating system files" so that they are invisible and cannot be accidentally touched.

  rhl_yadav,

  It is IMPORTANT that you do not delete these files. They are very important to the operating system.

  Instead, you can hide:

  • Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
  • Click the view tab.
  • Under Advanced settings, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" and "Hide protected operating system files ' are not checked, and then click OK.

• 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.
