Hi, I have an External hard disc on which the system volume information is taking up 27.7 GB of space even though System Restore disabled for this drive. I was successfull in taking the folder's ownership but no file could be deleted. The drive is Bit locker protected so I can't delete from live Linux. Please suggest a method for deleting the folder.

Its really simple. Remove the Bit locker protection. I mean its not much of a use anyway. Use Truecrypt. Much better.
