If you noticed a folder called $SysReset on your hard drive, odds are at some point you performed a refresh or Reset This PC. The folder was created and contains various files, including log files that can help you determine the problem when a refresh or Reset This PC failed.



The folder is hidden, so if you attempted a refresh or system reset; you'll need to show hidden files and folders to see the $SysReset folder.

Video tutorial:



The folder can be deleted unless you need to perform troubleshooting. In other words, if you've completed a refresh or system reset and everything is working fine, the folder, and all its contents are useless to you.

$SysReset contains a folder called with a .etl file. It also created an etl of a different name (sysreset_exe_BootUX.etl) inside C:\recovery\Logs. This file allows you to find out what caused the error.

Right-click on the $SysReset folder and select delete to move the folder to the recycle bin. If you're using Storage Sense, it will remain in your recycle bin for 30 days, or whenever you empty the recycle bin.

Deleting this folder might require you're logged in as the Administrator. If you still are unable to delete the folder, then try it in Safe Mode.
