Unable to delete shadows copies
I have 100GB of shadow copies on a server i'm unable to delete. The server was running Windows Server backup, which has since been disabled.
I have tried:
Diskshadow delete shadows all
vssadmin delete shadows /all
and using wmic to delete the shadows manually.
Everything i try says that it has deleted them but they remain, with the exception of vssadmin which gives the below error:
Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context. Try removing them with the backup application which created them.
