Windows 10: Image restore caused corrupt junction points

After unsuccesfully trying to migrate to the new intel VROC/RSTe drive without reinstalling, I restored back the Windows 10 image to traditional AHCI-attached drive.Windows got restored without visible errors, booted up.But I see all the system default junction points corrupted. Every one of them tells "Access denied". Including my images, my music, and compatibility jinctions in Appdata.Is there a way to restore all the standard junction points?

How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

AndreTen - I have tried Disk Cleanup but unfortunately the problem entries did not go away.
I feel certain Bree (VIP Member) has identified the correct cause of this problem as above and his adviced solution should also do the trick.

Bree - Thank you. I must admit that I did use 'Create system image' a few times in 'Backup & Restore (Windows 7)' instead of 'Backup now' and these ghost entries relate to those actions. You have rightly identified the cause of this issue.
It is crazy that Microsoft has put two different backup options causing the issue of these ghost restore points.

Regarding your advice on how to rectify the issue - I must add that I am not very computer savvy and feel reluctant to use Diskpart utility etc to delete 'WindowsImageBackup\SPPMetadataCache' and 'WindowsImageBackup\Catalog folders' from within 'System Volume Information' folder with command Prompt as I fear damaging the pc by making any mistakes, as I have never done this before.

Please advice if there may be another simpler method to delete the above folders OR if you are able and have time to post a step by step instructions (with pictures if possible) on how to follow your advice. Much appreciated.

 

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 (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
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.

 

System Restore Points - Only one?

Hi,

Have you recently run a disk cleanup on your computer? When viewing the restore points, did you also put a check mark on the box that says
Show more restore points? Please see picture below:



Being unable to see the restore points may also be caused by the following:

• Any 3rd party application that may have removed the restore points.
• Possible corruption on the previous restore points.

To properly isolate the issue, we suggest that you boot in safe mode and see if the other restore points will be available.

We're just here for your feedback.

Regards.
