Hi there,

There are a few options or commands you can use to delete the shadow copies. Shadow Copies data is stored in a folder called System Volume information which is a hidden system folder.

vssadmin delete shadows command can be used to delete all shadow copies or specific shadow copies from the volume. Use the /? at the end of the command to list parameters that you can use with this command. To delete all shadow copies using vssadmin delete shadows command, you can use the below command.

Vssadmin delete shadows /all

To show / list the different commands, Open Powershell as Administrator or Command prompt as an Administrator and type vssadmin
