Giant System Volume Information Folder
Win7 SP1
My System Volume folder is gigantic right now, almost 10GB.
I thought I could decrease that by deleting some older restore points with CrapCleaner.
When I looked at the SR points in CC, there is only one there, the most receont one, created today.
Is that possible---one restore point ten GB in size?
Or---has something gone wrong? If so, any way to fix it?
Anyone have an idea what could be going wrong with that--a 10 GB SV folder with only one restore point in it?
Of course, one solution would be to turn off system restore, so that everything in that folder is deleted, then start it again. However, if something goes wrong with the computer, that SR point could be a lifesaver, necessary to restore the system.
--------------
One other question--can the contents of the SVI folder be copied to an external HDD for backup (I have taken ownership of the folder, and given myself full permission on it and subfolders), before turning SR off and on? Then if necessary to use that saved SR point, copy those contents back to the SVI folder of the original drive?
