delete System Volume Information
I cannot find the original post so excuse this new post. On April 29 jumanji showed a simple way to delete the C:\System Volume Information with WinRAR (illustrated below). Before I do this, I want to be sure it's ok. So I have 3 simple questions and 1 other one.
My computer runs Windows 10 ver 1903 Build 18362.476 and has just 1 drive. If I delete the System Volume Information directory from my C: drive, then restart the computer, will it rebuild itself? Will it be smaller than the current size? Will it hurt my other files on the computer in any way? My Sys Vol Info directory is 26 GB now and I see lots of the files are over a year old. I don't want to loose any data on my C drive. I just want some space back.
Looking through other posts, I saw one guy had a Sys Vol Info dir of 58 GB. I wonder how this directory is managed and why it can get so large? Shouldn't Windows take care to keep it a reasonable size?
