I delete it, but it stays there, nothing happened. How can I delete it?
And is it safe to do?

Check the box at "hide system files", you won't even know it's there. :D

System information is were your System Restore points and other stuff are stored.

The System Volume Information can get bloated pretty fast over time; mainly by installing and uninstalling programs.

Open the Disk Cleanup utility, go to the More Options tab and and Cleanup the System Restore.
it will delete all your restore points except the last one.

You can set the max allocated space in System Volume Information for each disk by System Restore.

Open the Control Panel and click System, or right-click on Computer / Properties. The System window will open, where you can see your WEI, comp name, etc. On the left click on System protection to open that dialog. One by one select each drive under Protection Settings and click Configure. There you can select the max amount it will use for the drive's System Volume Information folder, or none at all. I only enable it for my system drive.

I do system backups fairly often but still like sys restore for those tweaks that didn't quite work as advertsed :sarc:. Especially with Win 7 where I've been trying all kinds of things to see what works and what doesn't, sys restore has been a real boon.

Highlight is mine

You need to be careful with this on multi drive/partition systems as the System volume information also holds the shadow copy data for Files in addition to the restore points. I would recommend that for a data drive you use a setting such as shown in the following screen (The percentage would be based on the amount of files you work with and the overall drive size) ...

SVI.PNG

This will provide some protection for your data, although I agree that the system restore on a data drive is not of any use as the system restore ignores data files.

The ammount required for a system drive is variable from system to system and is best set by observation - delete all but the last restore point and check the size then set the max to this figure times how many points you want to retain. 3-5 times is a good compromise (personal preference will decide the actual amount of restore points you wish to keep)

Please define still standing - is System Volume Information still taking up space after disabling the drive in the System Restore configuration? Or you disabled it but if you go back and check it's still configured to reserve recovery space?

hope this inset explains everything

everytime I delete it it asks "Do u want to move it to recycle bin?" or when I use with the shift key "Do u want to delete this permanently?"
I chose yes. But nothing happened. It's still STANDING there in my D: partition drive.

OK, you mean you're trying to delete the System Volume Information folder in D:? You cannot delete it, Windows will not allow it, but it should be empty - if you right-click / Properties on it, it should show 0 bytes, 0 files and 0 folders.

Ok I can see things are a little heated - can we calm down please.

Julio

What I suggest you do is follow the instructions in previous posts exactly (in addition you may want to set the allocation to 0 and use the delete button on the dialog to empty the store, as switching the function off will not necessarily do this) and then reboot your pc.

You will not be able to delete the actual system information file store but it should now be set to 0. As this is a system file the fact that it exists should not cause any problems and you will have your space back. You will of course not have the safety net that the system provides but on our machine that is your choice

I'm sorry, I never meant to insult, in fact I wasn't talking to you. If anyone finds my particular reply irritating, it was just me lacking of capabilities in how to put it in english, I realize I'm not so fluent in english, I apologize. Such unpleasant temper you got there though. I'm sorry once again, I never meant to disrespect.
DJG I'm sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to, really.

And about that System Information folder, just forget it, it's not so annoying, I was just curious so I post this thread. Just forget it 500MB won't hurt. Thanks for all of your attention and time. I thank you all.

I use a old program called "ERD Commander 2003 Explorer"..
you can enter "System Volume information" folder with that program..

It shows all hidden and system files.. I do not use system restore..
I usually delete everything in the folder.. use it at your own risk

Thank you, I can see inside the folder by taking ownership of the folder, but thanks for your help. I'm sure that everybody in this forum and myself prefers this kind of reply.
