I have 30GBs of files that are not showing up in any folder - HELP!!!
I figured it out -- you have to shut off "System Restore" in System Protection and then the hidden backup files will be deleted - then you turn System Resore back on - but you have to do this every so often to remove all of the super hidden restore shadow files - thanks for nothing forum!!! -- Nibiruian6 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Why don't you reduce the amount of space reserved for system restore, i.e.
open an elevated command prompt by clicking the Windows Orb (Start) All Programs Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’. To display the current parameters type (or copy and paste) “vssadmin list shadowstorage” (not the quotes but the spaces) and press Enter. To reduce (or increase) the disk space allocated, type (or copy and paste) “vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=3GB” (not the quotes but the spaces) and press Enter. This example assumes changing the space on drive C to 3GB. You may find that all the restore points have been removed after resizing so make sure the computer is behaving itself before reducing the space allocation. Also, make a manual restore point immediately after resizing. You could also reduce the space allocated to the 'Bin', right-click, etc. "Nibiruian6" wrote: I figured it out -- you have to shut off "System Restore" in System Protection and then the hidden backup files will be deleted - then you turn System Resore back on - but you have to do this every so often to remove all of the super hidden restore shadow files - thanks for nothing forum!!! -- Nibiruian6 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
