So it is not easy to boot from cd... So I tried MoveFile "XX "" That means, it should be deleted on next start. Now, I'm waiting two days, the server doesn't respond any more. Could it be possible that this deleting processes doesn't come to an end, too?? Kind regards Alex |
Ummmm, I was not talking about VSS or moving the file. My solution is to BOOT and Anti-Virus (A/V) boot CD. Once you are booted on the CD you can use the built in file manager to delete the 2TB file. Works like a charm! Done it many times. Thx -WS
