System Volume Information Access Denied and filling up

Rober posted on Wednesday, December 05, 2007 7:38 AM

This is a Windows 2003 SP2 Server with a C and D drive.  The D drive is the
problem.  I am running out of disk space and I am sure that it is the System
Volume Information folder.  I cannot get in to it though.  I get an access
denied error when trying to access it.  Things I've done so far; disabled
shadow copy, check that the indexing service was stopped (it was disabled),
restarted the server, restarted Volume Shadow Copy service, Restarted the VSS
SQL Server write, restarted Backup Exec, applied all Microsoft patches.

System account and to your own account.
