We have a drives on a Server 2019 OS setup for shadow copy. Recently we got an alert that the drive was full. I took a look and saw a 100GB file with the name {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752} in the System Volume Information folder. I did some reading into this and found out that this is an orphan file. I'm wondering if deleting this file from the System Volume Information folder will screw up all the shadow copy backups that are currently on that drive?
