Note that the vssadmin command doesn't list what's in the GUI, so you kind of sort of have to guess a wee little bit on the ID. o https://i.postimg.cc/3Rv6dgr1/deleterestorepoint02.jpg Luckily, for me, the time stamps were only 27 seconds off, and, luckily, it was the last restore point that I wanted to delete. o https://i.postimg.cc/0NcmD3j2/deleterestorepoint03.jpg See also: o How to Delete System Restore Points in Windows 10 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/33593-delete-system-restore-points-windows-10-a.html o How to Delete System Restore Points in Windows 10 https://thegeekpage.com/delete-system-restore-points-in-windows-10/ o Delete a System Restore Point in Windows 10 https://winaero.com/delete-system-restore-point-windows-10/ -- Usenet is a wonderful archive of useful real-world questions & solutions. |
