Hello,
On my new laptop I found out that the System Volume Information folder on my drive is taking up 93GB of space.
Using the command "vssadmin list shadows", I can see these are all shadow copy sets.
The first one was created on 03/06/2022. Then everyday I used the laptop an extra set was created, until 19/06/2022.
They are all of type "ApplicationRollback", and have the Attributes "Persistent, No auto release, Differential, Auto recovered".
I understand that type "ApplicationRollback" means that it's not the OS which has created the shadow set, but some client program.
So I have the following questions:
- How can I find out which program created these sets
- How can I remove them (I understand vssadmin can't remove sets of type "ApplicationRollback"
Thanks in advance.
