    delete System Volume Information

    The "System Volume Information" folder was first introduced in Windows 2000. This predates System Restore. Documentation was sparse and it's size was small. But it was considered of sufficient importance that by default even an Admin level account could not access it. In Windows 2000 Admin accounts were always elevated. In Windows 2000 it was the only folder in the root of the drive so protected.

    In XP the folder came to be used by System Restore points. Over the years since then it would not be unreasonable to suggest that it contains other undocumented data as well. There is much in Windows that has never been publicly documented.

    If space is a concern it would be best to delete restore points by the provided facility rather than deleting the folder. Doing so would require granting your account the rights to do so. You should think twice before doing this with a system folder.
