Hello. I would like to ask you if you could help me because I have a hard disk in windows 10 2004 mapped as F drive.
Some days ago I was trying to virtualize with Virtualbox windows 10 64 bits, after several fails I decided change approach so I virtualized windows 10 64 with Vmware workstation 15 and I achieved it. The problem is that every virtualization try, system volume information folder had a high size even after deleting failed virtual machines like if virtualbox wasn't releasing space or windows 10 wasn't releasing space. You will check it in screenshots where you will see F System Volume Information with a size of 114GB (first image) after have deleted all virtual machines I created (in fact, every virtual machine fail, I deleted everything but System Volume Information didn't change size when I guess it should have been released).
In second image, you will check how that System Volume Information folder has a 124GB size after successfully created virtual machine with vmware. Provisioned hard disk is not pre-allocated, it means that storage was not set aside for the entire virtual disk when it was created, and it will grow as your VM disk fills up. Folder where is stored virtual machine in F has 18GB size.
Hard drive is 1TB size and has 600GB free.
In this Microsoft support link Microsoft support I read that was related to system restore points but is not the case becasue I have only enabled system restore points for C and a limited size of around 2GB as you will check in next screenshots :
My questions are:
1) Can I delete safety System Volume Information folder in F?
2) How to do it if I don't have permissions and I can't be owner of that folder?
3) Will I have hard disk information lost for deleting it? Hard disk has like 300GB of information.
Thanks in advance.
