ok, so, for some reason while i was doing a defrag on one of my drives, and playing a game on another the pc decided to create a 152gb file in systemvolumeinformation on that drive.
i have no idea why - i have system restore disabled on that drive anyway and the time stamp says it was created at the point i mentioned.

so, is it safe to delete it? i assume it is. It certainly wasn't there before.

and more importantly how do i delete it, because win8 will not give me permission to do it no matter what i try??
 
nevermind - done it.
told system restore to delete the restore points on that drive, even though it shouldn't have made one in the first place!
