You can't delete it because it's normal to be there.

Find something else to obsess about.

Those are normally there..
If you don't want to see them, then go back to "hide protected operating
system files".
Organize - Folder and Search options
View - [ x ] hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
OK

Leave them alone. They contain your deleted items and
your system restore information (among other things).

The OS usually has these hidden so as to protect you
from yourself. :o)

Hi,
Wanting a computer to work the way you want it to work and not the way
others, including Microsoft want it to work, is not obsesive and yes you can
remove the Recycle Bin and System Volume Information folders from
your flash-drives and/or USB hard drives. I don't like hidden anything on my computer and hiding it doesn't mean it's not there and taking up space.
Solution:
You can right-click on your Desktop Recycle Bin icon and "configure your drives independently" and then check "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin"
for the flash-drive and/or USB hard drive of your choice.
Hope this helps.
