I have several files located at "c:\system volume info" with names such as:

{b4c5a79e-bf92-11e1-8d60-001aa09ddeb6}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

that are over 9 Gb in size and which defraggler says it can not defrag. As a matter of fact I cannot even see a folder named "system volume info" with the dir command from the comand line. What are these files for? are they part of my partitioning scheme? or are they Volume Snapshot Service files? if so, is there way to get deffragler to work them? I already tried to run DF from Windows Safe Mode and still won't defrag.

Great program, thanks Piriform.

They're restore points/ VSS files, or somehow related. I don't run the service, yet I have them. They may be "last known good configuration" type options for the bootloader.
