Title: Unable to Delete System Volume Information File when Defragging
Post by: seacalypso on July 21, 2016, 07:21:54 AM

Hi

After defragging my PC under Windows 10, I'm left with some files that can't be defragged - these are usually 'System Volume Information' files plus others.

Does anyone know how I can defrag these from my system using the Defraggler software?

Many thanks for any help.

Best Regards

Not that large of a file to worry about it being defragged...

If you delete it it gets re-created on next boot....
