Fresh backup shows files and folders that do not exist on the system

Both SFC and DISM finished successfully, but files/folders still show non-existing Previous Versions.

Any other suggestions?

BTW. I have been using Backup using File History since Windows 8.0, but still don't feel comfortable with it.

 

Fresh backup shows files and folders that do not exist on the system

Due to a lack of a further response from Microsoft, I tried the following drastic measures:

• Reset the PC and keep my files
  
  This did not solve the problem
• Reset PC and don't keep my files
  
  This did nit solved the problem

After further investigation I found out about vssadmin and
wbadmin. With these tools you can cleanup older shadowstorage and backups. But how come this info retained information as old as 2013 about backups after a fresh install of Windows 10 without keeping my files?

It appears there is another source of information about backups: The disk on which the backup is stored. The MediaID.bin file seems to keep information on the files/folders in the backup created.

Solution:

• Deleted the backup folder on my external disk
• Removing the MediaID.bin
• Cleaning up shadow copies (vssadmin) and the backup catalog (wbadmin)
• Creating fresh backup

Now Backup and Restore (Windows 7) does no longer list old backups in the catalog and versions of files. And the "Previous Versions" tab of files does not show older versions anymore.

 

Apparently our @Brink has - and written a tutorial on it...

that's bash but this is different if you read it the article.

 

Oops, just read it - my bad *Sad

. Well, as I tagged Brink he will no doubt have a look at it (if he hasn't already done so).

 

yeah seems like it may be interesting to say the least.

 

Oh, no... Unity is the only drawback of Ubuntu (IMHO) so... nope not for me I'm afraid!
