That's correct, it does not. Regards,

Thanks both (and sorry Michael, missed your original reply). I couldn't get rid using disk shadow or vssadmin, so I changed the size made available for shadow copies (couldn't change the drive remember) and left it. The next morning all the space had been reclaimed, the Shadow Copies tab in Explorer showed the correct (small) amount of space used, and it let me change the drive used for the shadow copies. I can only assume that creating and deleting a shadow copy through the GUI doesn't do the same as creating and deleting one as part of a VSS backup. The bonus is I got 300gb of space back :) ________________________________ From: David Lum [[email protected]] Sent: 09 December 2011 4:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: "The specified shadow copy storage association is in use"?

Anyone encountered this and managed to do anything about it without rebooting the box? vssadmin list shadows shows no shadows for the drive affected, despite the fact that looking at the drive properties in explorer shows 300gb of shadows stored. vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: just gives the error in the subject, nor can I change the shadow storage drive as I get the same error. >From the GUI I can enable and disable shadows on that drive, and create and >delete shadows, with no difference to the amount of space it reports as being >in use (300gb or so). This is 2008 R2 (no SP1 yet).
