How to selectively delete files/folders from shadow copies
For security reasons, we need to delete all copies of certain files and folders on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system. After deleting the files, I can wipe the free space clean using an wipe utility. But shadow copies still remain. I do not want to delete the shadow copies completely (else it defeats their purpose), only a specific list of files/folders. Is there any way to do this?

Are shadow copies retained permanently? Would deleted files ever expire from VSS backup?
This question has been classified as abandoned and is closed as part of the Cleanup Program. See the recommendation for more details.
Can shadow copies be mounted and then edited ?
