System Volume Information

[Dex]

I have a 7 Gig file in the System Volume Information folder on my F
drive that I cannot remove, System restore is disabled on all drives
except C.

Tried take ownership, then Unlocker and Lockhunter to try and remove it
with no joy, also rd "F:\System Volume Information\" in a administrator
command prompt.

The file is called
{97ff313f-f769-11e1-9a8e-ba20dc64ec52}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
if that is any use.

That got rid of the bugger, thanks.

That got rid of the bugger, thanks.

Actually I found a link to a simpler method later, involving using the
Disk Cleanup Wizard, but since this worked for you, I won't post it.
