    Re: System Volume Information FILES can be delete or remove?

    The System Volume Information folder is used by Windows XP for storing data on system configuration. This folder is used by the System Restore tool mainly to house the restore points. The restore points allow us, for example, return to the previous stable configuration to install a driver or program. The procedure to unlock this folder and access it depends on the version of Windows XP, formatting the disk and network configuration. For deletion and more information on System Volume Information files, check the below threads :
