Hello,

I was conducting a deleted file recovery using EaseUS Data Partition Recovery. I came across a file labeled "MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase.MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase"

The file shows up as 0 KB when I tried to submit it to Microsoft for malware analysis. So, the system Microsoft offers would not let me upload it.

When I uploaded it to my Google Drive account for a test it shows up as 22 kilobytes.

Is this a normal file to appear in a System Volume Information drive? What should I do if anything?

Yes it's a normal file. Don't do anything with the files in SysVol as you'll likely break your system.
