For a while now my C: drive (250GB) has been full but I wasn't able to figure out why all the space was used up. I've now discovered the culprit: the hidden folder $sysreset is taking up a whopping 52.5GB!
The thing is, when I click to delete it, it asks for administrator permission, and I give it. Then it discovers all the files and promptly tells me that I need to ask my administrator for permission in order to delete. I get to try again which does the same thing or cancel.
I get the same results when opening File Explorer with permissions.
Windows doesn't see any restore points with Backup & Restore, and I've even turned System Restore off for the drive and I still can't get the authority to delete this folder.
Any suggestions?
