I haven't been able to find enough information about it on the web, and I'm sure it has something to do with mounting NTFS partitions (due to the types of threads Google redirected me to)... but what the heck is it anyways? It's of an awfully enormous size, whatever its purpose is... |
It is used by system restore. You should find that even if you disable SR it will still grow which can lead to lost space and you will need to enable then disable it to recover space (or just set the rights and delete stuff in it, but not too sure how dangerous this is as I do the previous method).
