I accidentally moved a folder with lots of subfolders and files to System Volume Information on a Bitlocker-partially-encrypted flash drive. Now I can't move them back (not even with control-Z).
The folder seemed to automatically have become system-owned: I tried taking ownership, but that would take a long time and might not work.
How can I move this folder out of System Volume Information?

I use this way so it's worked for me : [first make sure you are not guest log in, in another word you must have administrator access]
