System Volume Information owner and permission

Thank for reply.

Does it will harm my PC? I'm afraid that my PC will not start.

No, a new one will be created the next time you boot.

Thank. I will give it a try.

Hello,

Forget
What should I need to enter in cmd to delete/rename the folder?

Hello,
But the method doesn't work for me, I still get an access denied error when creating restore point.

The best way is to delete the folder, and then the system will create a new one for you with the correct permissions. This is how to do:

First, restart your computer in safe mode. How to do that depends on what version of Windows you're using, if you don't know how to do, you can google it. Then delete the folder by typing rmdir "C:\system volume information" /s /q in cmd. If it doesn't work because you don't have the permissions to do that, give yourself the necessary permissions. If you need to do any of this, you probably already know how to do that. Then restart your computer, and the system will create a new system volume information folder with the correct permissions.
