I would not bother looking into the SVI folder - turning System Resore off and back on will whack all your current Restore Points (then make a new one manually). It is possible to delete one Restore Point with something likeĬCleaner, but if your system is now or has been afflicted with malware, I would just whack them all and get a clean start. If your SVI folder has a malware infection, that means that whatever you are using for your antivirus/antimalware protection has failed you so you might want to reconsider whatever it is you are using on your system of unspecified make and model with unspecified There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer Open the System Volume Information folder in the root folder. In Windows Explorer click Ĭlick the tab, click Ĭlear check box.Ĭlick on the change confirmation box and click to exit. The System Volume Information folder is hidden So bear in mind it will not then be possible to do a System Restore to a time earlier than when you turned System Restore back on again. Then you can turn System Restore back on and a new Restore Point will be created. This will delete all of your System Restore Points. The only way to get rid of an infected Restore Point is to turn off System Restore. Opening it will not help you as all you will see is a list of Restore Points which you cannot open.Īlso it is not possible to delete one Restore Point. The System Volume Information folder is where System Restore keeps the Restore Points.
