Hey all,

System Volume Information. What is this for? It is the folder that stores System restore points, is it not?

Also, what is the normal size for this file? Is 16GB a little too large?

Also, why should my external HD for storing media on have one? Is this normal?

On a side note, im sure Thaylok can answer this one. The defrag free space option on Defraggler, what does that do? Does it try to push all the free space into one area?

Thanks in advance!

What os are you using? In XP it holds the restore points. In Vista it holds the restore points and the shadow copies. Size would depend on what size is used for the restore points. 12% of hard drives space is default but can be made larger or smaller. Also, if your pc is working properly you can delete all but the last restore point by using disk cleanup and thereby reducing the size of the folder.
