Actually, the drive is a physical volume. It's a partition on my hard
drive. I really find it weird that the .NET framework even lists this
apparently special directory at all! I checked on the C: drive and it
appears to have one too! Again, I can't see it if I use explorer or dir.
It's just strange.
One of the workarounds I can think of is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<project name="example" default="clean">
<target name="clean">
<foreach item="Folder" in="T:\" property="folder">
<delete unless="${folder == 'T:\System Volume
Information'}">
<fileset basedir="${folder}">
<include name="**\bin" />
<include name="**\obj" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</foreach>
</target>
</project>
It's a little ugly, but it gets the job done.
