exception handler does not work. And I don't know how to use object.ForEach.

I have also tried to use LINQ like this but it does work.

string[] originalFiles = Directory.GetFiles(sourceFolder, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Where(f => !f.Contains("System Volume Information").ToString())

Is it possible in this case to use LINQ?
