How to delete $SysReset folder

How do you delete the $SysReset folder? It's taking up over 195gb on my hard drive.

 

Unable to remove $SysReset

Here's a description of what it is:

If you can't delete it (although the article suggests you should be able to), then like anything else you can delete it when Windows is not running.

You can:
- Boot your PC to a command prompt (via SHIFT click Restart) and follow the prompts through to get to a command prompt.
That's if you're confident in using the command prompt, and noting that the drive letter will not then be C:
- Boot your PC from a Win 10 bootable disk and via 'Repair your computer' navigate to a command prompt.
- boot your PC from a bootable disk such as Kyhi's, available from the top of the Software and Apps section here, and use a Win 10 environment, again noting it won't be on C:
- install a program such as this (free)
MoveOnBoot Free - Rename/Move/Delete Locked Files on Reboot
- which also deletes files and folders when restarting.
