How to delete a file inside system volume information folder in windows server 2008

I checked lots of ways to delete a file inside the System Volume Information folder (not a system file, a file I've copied there accidentally) but none of them worked for me.

First I changed security and ownership of the file and get full control to administrator. then tried to disable System File Protection (which I couldn't find in Windows Server 2008).

Any Idea?


Solution 1:

Found it! just use command prompt with administrator account:

takeown /f "C:\System Volume Information" /R /A

then

cacls "C:\System Volume Information" /T /C /E /P Administrators:F

and now just delete it by a simple command

del "C:\System Volume Information\Sample File.txt"

that's it!

Solution 2:

Simply right click the remove able disk.Select the option Open as Portable Device. Now delete the file from System Volume Information folder you want to remove.
