I have System Restore turned on for the drive that has the operating system and it has saved me from problems my computer was having, that occurred for no reason, countless times. There might still be two system files in that folder that will never change and never do anything, they are just part of the program. It is really easy to stop this thing from doing anything at all, including giving your computer a way to be restored to a previously working state should anything happen to make it not function correctly. That is why you cannot delete the actual folder but you can keep it from putting anything at all in that folder just by turning off System Restore in System Properties. Have you gone into System Properties and turned off System Restore for all drives?Īre you finding that change.log file anywhere other than inside the individual restore point folders in the System Volume Information folder?Īlso, just so you know, if you reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows, you will still have the System Volume Information folder, it is part of Windows and it is a protected operating system folder.
If you turn off System Restore for any given drive and reboot, the System Volume Information folder remains but there are no restore points left in it or being made for it, therefore, there are no change.log files in the System Volume Information folder. Maybe you are referring to an external hard drive and if so, maybe System Restore will give the option to monitor that drive, I have no way to check that out but all you have to do is turn off the monitoring for that drive. I just double checked that by putting in my usb flash drive and checked System Restoe to see if I even had the option of turning it on for that drive, I do not.
Usually System Restore is only for fixed drives which are hard drives. The change.log file for System Volume Information should only be in the individual restore point folders in the System Volume Information folders for drives that have System Restore turned on.
