How to stop System Volume Info folder growing on Sys. Res. Partition?

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone had a solution to this.

I have my System Reserved partition set up as a 300mb partition. I set this as a custom size to get around the System Image backup error when it was just at 100mb.
I also keep my WinRE Recovery folder on there instead of on My C: partition.

Never had any problems with it until recently. The System Volume Information folder keeps growing and leaving me with little space on the partition, which again causes the Image backup errors.

So, how can I stop that folder from growing? I've tried all the obvious solutions like Disk Cleanup, Defrag, Deleting USN journal, Malware and A/V scans. I don't actually know what is writing to this partition/folder. From what I understand, that folder is specifically for System Restore? Even with it turned off the folder doesn't shrink down.

I'd like to keep my System Reserved partition. The only solution I can think of is to temporarily make the C: Drive the boot drive, delete the SR partition and then recreate it and set it back as the boot drive. But if that folder fills up again, I'll have to go through it all again.

But if there is another solution anyone has I'd love to hear it.

Thanks :)

What system backup image error ?

The SR partition should never grow, should never have a letter.(If you gave it a letter)

Unless you use Bitlocker, there is no reason to have a SR partition.

Why don`t you just reinstall windows to a pre defined partition ?

How has it gotten you out of a couple of scrapes ?

Mark C Active and put the System files on C, get rid of the useless SR partition, then make an image.

You don`t need a SR partition.

Alrighty then :)

I guess you`ll have to live with backup errors then.

I`ve never used a SR partition once I learned to eliminate it and use Windows imaging and Macrium and I`ve never had an issue, either with a re image to the same drive or to a new drive.

Incremental backups of data ?

You should not be storing data on your C drive, therefore there is no reason to do backups.

Store your data elsewhere, and make new images when the urge hits you, like weekly, at least.

I mean, where do you store Inc backups
