2 Cluster Shared Volumes filling up with shadow copies and I can't delete them.

  • three node Server 2012 R2 cluster
  • 2 CSVs
  • Veeam Backup software v7

We've been running out of space on our CSVs. I determined that the hidden System Volume Information directory is huge. It is huge because of large VSS files in the directory.

Path to CSVs

c:\ClusterStorage\Volume1

c:\ClusterStorage\Volume2
