Windows 10: 80GB MSIXVC File.

Since the last thread I was getting support in was closed Brad..., I'm starting a new one. I'm going to give all the details I can, and keep it clean & clear to read.



I had an issue with my PC a few months back. I decided to do a system restore. It fixed my problem, but it removed Gears 5, and with that came the MSIXVC issue everyone seems to run into. I didn't realize I had the problem until I noticed I was missing an extra 70GB+ SDD space and went looking for the cause.



The game's file is inside of the System Volume Information folder. Its 80GB, and inside of the MSIXVC sub-folder. That's where the problem is.



The full path to the file is C:\System Volume Information\SystemRestore\AppxStaging\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSIXVC



No matter what I do removing inheritance, giving myself ownership / admin I can't seem to delete the file / folder. I tried launching in Safe Mode as someone had success with that, I didn't. I tried all the things you find on sites, none of them work for me.



I asked in another thread that got closed cough Brad cough, but the suggestions didn't help. I'm thankful for the replies, but useless.

I want to know the fix for this. I cannot be bothered to reset my drive. That's doing too much as it's my OS drive, not an external.

The user I was receiving help from fixed their issue, but I did what they did, and it wasn't the same for me. I have no clue what to do. I want those 80GB's.



I even tried using a 3rd-party software that is mainly from what I know used to remove excess files that are redundantly caused by restores.

It didn't work. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful for the help! Thanks!

Burning Files To cdr

I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?

 

Uber file server build -- suggestions

Uber file server build -- suggestions?

I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.

Stuff already bought:

• 
  Motherboard (socket 1155 H61)
  RAM (1600MHz)
  PCI SATA cards
  Operating System (Windows 8 + FreeNAS)
  SSD
  CPU (35w Pentium Ivybridge 2.6GHz)

Looking for suggestions on:

• 
  GPU -- use the on-die GPU or buy a PCI-E graphics card (was thinking of a 7750)? My only requirement is that it is able to run 1080p mkv files and play Blurays without a problem.
  Case -- needs to hold as many 3.5" drives as humanly possible (more than 10 at least), while not being too expensive
  PSU -- needs to be able to run over 40 SATA HDDs as well as 6xPCI RAID cards and 1xPCI-E 2.0 RAID card. Silver, Gold or Platinum?
  CPU Cooler -- fanless or not?
  Case fans

That's all I can think of for now...unless I'm forgetting something...oh and one more thing -- I will be buying the hard drives two at a time as I run out of space. Also the PCI-E RAID card will be bought a lot later down the line, as I've only just got enough hard drives for 1 out of 6 of my PCI SATA cards.

Any suggestions, feel free to post. Thanks
