    There are many I know are system created users such as TsInternetUser, Guest, HealthMailbox, exchange Online-ApplicationAccount are these safe to delete?I know some of the Exchange HealthMailbox are from old instances. I have also read that I can delete them all and Exchange will recreate them automatically. Is this True?

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    A System Image restore point is describe as type 'Backup'.

    First, go to Settings > Backup & Restore > Recovery and select the 'Restart now' button in Advanced Start-up.

    When you get Advanced Start-up, select Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Command Prompt.

    You will be asked to choose an administrator account and supply it's password, then the Command Prompt will open.

    Type the commands DISKPART then LIST VOL and EXIT to see a list of all drives, in this example the Windows system is on the C: drive, yours may have a different letter. Whatever the letter is, type it followed by a colon to switch to that drive, in this example I typed C:

    Then use the CD (change directory) command CD System Volume Information\WindowsImageBackup

    Use the DIR command to check you are in the right folder, then use DEL to delete the contents of each of the Catalog and SPPMetadataCache folders.

    Youn can now close the command prompt window (or type EXIT) to restart the PC and go back to Windows.

    All System Image Restore points of type 'Backup' will now have gone.

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    As I said in post #3, the only way I have found to successfully remove system image backup restore points is to manually delete them from the 'System Volume Information' folder.

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CI have a requirement to delete inactive users. There are many I know are system created... :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CI have a requirement to delete inactive users. There are many I know are system created... :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.
