How do i delete DFSR folder in System Volume Information

I tried to run command from raised command prompt:  icacls “F:\system volume information” /grant Administrators:F
I get a Invalid parameter "Volume" error
Due to a corrupted DFSR database I need to delete the DFSR folder in the system volume information folder.  I already removed the replication groups and even removed DFS role service from the file services role.
Any help would be appreciated.

This could mean some service still uses DFSR database or just access problems...

Did you try
Rd “f:\system volume information\dfsr” /s /q”
