Sys Vol delete

[Gordon J. Rattray]

Hi there,

I have a full hard drive and I'd like to delete the
_restore{42508DD5-0268-4C17-B33E-7420B48A6F20} folder as it's holding 7 Gb
in it.

I've turned off System Restore, booted up into Safe Mode, used Administrator
permissions and I can't delete the above folder.

I used to be able to do this in XP, but can't delete it in Vista.....

What's throwing me the block?

Thanks,

Gordon

Have you right-clicked on the folder, then selected the Security tab to see
if your users group has access permissions? If not, give the users group
full access to the folder, then delete it.

Admiministrators.... still can't delete it...hmmmm
