Thread: Removing of 'Recycler' and 'System Volume Information' from computer

Hi,

I recently had a blue screen of death on my Windows 2000 with the standard server with SP4. I also had to reinstall the system on my computer. I also restored the C-Drive and D-drive from the tape which is being created with the NTBACKUP to a new folder on another disk on that server, just to make sure that if I had everything in place.

Now I desire to remove those restored drives but the Windows won't let me to do this. If I look into these 'restored' folders I see a 'Recycler' and 'System Volume Information' folder (are hidden in it).

My questions are:
Is there any way to delete these system folders?
Is it safe to delete these system folders?

Thanks!

You can safely remove the recycler as well as the system folder (if the system folder is not on the drive containing the OS) then restart the system completely. Firstly I consider that to delete all the Thumbs.db which also holds the shift when deleting so they go permanently. Also you show delete the recycler from all volumes. Use search option.
