System Volume information on datapartition. No restore, No index but 16 % of disk

Topic

New Reply

I have a C – partition with programs and restore point. (after clean install SVI- folder is small. And a data-partition (820 GB) with no restore point, no indexing, no real time back-ups. But the SVI is 152 Giga. In all treads about the SVI, the advice is to reduce the system restore. but that does not apply to my case and question.
1 – can I delete SVI safely and if yes HOW ?
2 will windows (win 10 pro) recreate the folder after deletion? and what will be in it, if no restore points or index applies ?
3 : Can it be done on the c-drive safely too (with manual creating restorepoint afterwards of course) (on another machine the SVI on C is growing fast too (I clean up restore points regularly- no indexing.)
Thanks for sharing your experience with this ?
Ferdinand

You can’t delete System Volume Information.

Reduce the size reserved for Shadow Copies and Restore points.

Clean up both Shadow Copies and old Restore points using Disk Cleanup > More Options > System Restore and Shadow Copies.

Thanks for your good intentions, but this is exactly my problem: there are no RESTORE points !!!!! etc. I have used cleanmgr already, no result (of course)
I have seen this answer everywhere and it does not apply to my D-partition without restorepoints .
Please is there anybody who understands what is happening in this 152 GIGA. ??

Are you able to right click on the partition and select Properties to see if it has its own Disk Cleanup option ?

While the info in the 4th post in this article is for an external HDD, you may be able to apply it to your data partition.
