Tomm Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah, you can do that. Acquire a copy of Partition Magic and it's fairly easy. I wouldn't know how to do it with any other software though. Not sure if there's anything free that is as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Get Partition Magic on the go again and just delete that partition, then make the c: or whatever a bit bigger to fill the empty space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'd need about 20 CDs and I couldn't be arsed doing that so I HAVE ALREADY PARTIONED IT then merged the 2 partitions and now its left me with a folder which I can't get rid of. Its not hurting me or anything I'd just like to delete this useless folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Is it C:\System Volume Information\ ? Im pretty sure windows its a hidden folder to do with system restore that you probably cannot delete.Edit: Yup its a system restore folder which should be hidden... http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=fire...G=Google+Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ah right so is there anyway I can delete that bad boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ah right so is there anyway I can delete that bad boy?Maybe if you turn off system restores, but I wouldn't. Just leave it. If it bugs you, turn off "Show hidden files and folders" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm pretty sure there is a way to delete selected restor points. I assume if I do that then it will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
