By disabling system restore windows will delete the entire contents of the folder called system volume information.
Are these System Volume Information files actually the Restore Points from System Restore? Does Windows actually delete these files or just “hide” them?
Either way there seems to me to be some issues.
-
If Windows truly deletes the System Volume Information when one disables it and these files are directly related to being able to do a System Restore - seems one would loose the ability to restore to all points previously available to restore to.
-
If in fact Windows just hides these files when disabling in order to protect previous restore points and there are viruses in mine … they then will not be found when doing a scan. Once I re-enable the System Restore feature will not these (if only hidden) files be returned to their location able to cause trouble for me again?

Where did the files that I moved go to if not to the Chest? If they have just been moved, then are they not still somewhere on my computer and need to be moved back so that I can disable System Restore to do a proper scan?
Thank you,
