If you have a large amount of "other" files taking up space on your pool drive and would like to reduce the amount of "wasted" space then...

 

Warning doing this could stuff up you pc so go carefully and if it goes to pot its not my fault :)

 

Your friend here is the powershell cmdlet "vssadmin"

 

if you run the command via an elevated powershell window

 

vssadmin list shadowstorage

 

it will list your vss stores etc

 

and then run

 

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=[drive letter]: /For=[drive letter]: /MaxSize=[maximum size]

 

See http://woshub.com/how-to-clean-up-system-volume-information-folder/

 

for more details

 

got rid of 70GB+ of unneeded vss data for me :)

 

Enjoy
