Delete System Volume Information Folder

[NickM]

Does anyone know how to delete the SVI folder? Its not on my Windows drive, its on a separate drive left over from my previous Windows install. Under this current install System Restore isn't enabled on that drive, I've taken ownership, made sure both my account and system have full permission to access the folder but I *still* can delete it, help!

edit: Seems I dont have ownership/permissions on the files/folders in the SVI folder, and I can't take ownership either .

I've managed to do it by deleting it from a Linux CD then fiddling with the permissions in Windows. Probably would have been simpler just to format the drive .
