I'm trying to remove the these files from the F:/ drive (see link) as they're preventing shadow copies from being created which is destroying our backup job.

I've tried rmdir "system volume information"/s /q and del /f (See Link)

Also tried to remove with Robocopy

Also tried to enable shadow copies but it's throwing back errors due to drive space.

Anyone know of a command or another way about deleting these?

Seems to think the files are not recognised or exist.

Server is 2008 r2

Any help would be very much appreciated

It is not recommended directly delete the folder.

It store their files in this folder below: System restore points on client systems or System State backups made using Windows Server Backup (wbadmin) in server OSs; The contents of Indexing Service database used for fast file search; Distributed Link Tracking Service database; Disk snapshots made by Volume Shadow Copy, which can be used to recover older versions of files; NTFS disk quota settings; The database of file deduplication service; DFS Replication database (dfsr.db).

Check the contents of folder Run command :vssadmin list shadowstorage

Use the command below to delete the old shadow copy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/vssadmin-delete-shadows
