Aegis Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I suspect that's the search index file, otherwise I can't think of what else would grow in size and reside in the System Volume Information folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasswellt Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 why would you try to delete this file? obviously it's a vital system file or it'd let you delete it. I'd leave it be, and stop trying to defrag and using this as a full time operating system till it's fully released... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3aces Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 WOOOOOOOOFile removed....because a certain amount of files require the actual administrator to be logged on...its difficult to change permissions other wiseso i have a copy of Windows PE...i just booted it and right click>>delete....POOFfile gone Cheers Gunsmokingman....for your help especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
