Deleting folder

Hi there,

When I got my new 9200, it came with Vista and a bunch of additional partitions for restoration.

Have removed Vista, installed XP Pro followed by Partition Magic 8. Using PM, I merged partitions and created others that I wanted. When merging partitions, PM creates a folder that holds any files that are on the merged partition. In this case, the partition was empty apart from the System Volume Information folder; I named the new folder 'asdf' and it contains the System Volume Information folder.

I want to delete it but always get the 'Access denied' message, even in Safe Mode. There is only 'lil' old me' using the computer and I don't understand all this Administrator/ Guest/User privileges business. perhaps this is the blockage?

I also have Move On Boot, but this also does not work on the asdf folder.

Grateful if you can offer advice.

Rex

    The System Volume Information folder holds the system restore information. Did you try turning system restore off? It might let you delete the folder then. You can not delete it with system restore on.
