How can I delete C:\System" "Volume" "Information in MS-DOS
I have Win XP PRO SP2You really shouldn't delete that folder unless you've got a very good reason to do so. The folder stores the system restore information Windows XP and Vista uses to rollback your system to an earlier state if a problem arise. If you simply want to clear the folder you can simply disable and re-enabled System Restore.i really don't care..!!!
i just want to delete it.
how can i do this please..You cannot delete it normally.
If you want it to disappear you can disable System Restore, to clear the folder do as Deerpark suggested.i found this but i want to do all of it through cmd though, is this possible..??

WinXP Pro Under NTFS
1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders.
4. Clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the change.
5. Click OK.
6. Right-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder, and then click Properties.
7. Click the Security tab.
8. Click Add, and then type the NAME of the user to whom you want to give access to the folder. Choose the account location if appropriate (either local or from the domain). Typically, this is the account with which you are logged on. Click OK, and then click OK.
9. Double-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder to open it.
or then delete it...I really wouldn't recommend doing this, you'd only mess up your restore points if you went poking around.
Why not just disable System Restore? That will delete the folder.Besides gumbaz, if you follow that guide and delete it WITHOUT disabling System Restore Windows will just recreate it (or THROW a hissy fit and refuse to boot). So you will have to disable System Restore whether you like it or not.well then how can i either disable the system restore or delete all the system restore points through cmd then..I don't understand your obsession with with the cmd shell? You've already in a separate THREAD asked about how to stop and uninstall the system restore service through the shell. Are you trying to do something you're not SUPPOSED to be doing, like destroying another person's means of doing a rollback? im just testing things out in vm-ware...
