Hey, I am new to these forums so please excuse any errors specifically relating to these forums.
Alright, here is my problem. I am running kind of low on hardrive space. I only 8 GB left. Now, I can't usually see it when I am just exploring my computer, but when I use a program such as "AMUST Disk Cleaner" (A program where you can see what is taking up how much space on your harddrive via pie graphs), it appears that a folder named "System Volume Information" is taking up 7 gb of HD space. It should be located in my root HD directory (ex: C:/System Volume Information) but when I go to my hard drive, that folder isn't there. When I explore it from the "AMUST Disk Cleaner" program, there is another folder inside it called "_restore{A953....(a whole bunch of numbers and letters). Then, inside that folder are numerous other folders each containing about 44MB of stuff, and two other folders containing about each 2 GB of stuff. When I go into these folders, it seems as if it is stuff that I have deleted (sent to the recylcling bin) in the past. I obviously don't need these things seeing that I have deleted them. Would it be okay to delete these folders. I could use that 7GB of HD space. The only problem is there there is a lot of .dll files in the folders. I don't want to delete any valuable drivers or anything. Please help. I'd be much appreciated.
