[QUOTE="przemo_one, post: 1035569, member: 18732"] Hello, tested on Windows 11. In order to stop System Volume Information directory from creation (everywhere) you need to disable 2 services: Storage Service and Windows Search. Before doing so make sure they are not required to run. In order to remove System Volume Information directory from Fat32 volume first you have to use "attrib -s -h" to remove "system" and "hidden" flags then you can delete that using command line. Explorer wan't let you do this. I didn't find a way to remove it from NTFS volume in Windows however after formatting it wan't be recreated. You can always use GNU Linux to remove SVI in any case anyway. Cheers przemo_one [/QUOTE]
