    Delete previous version of file made by shadow copy?

    Can anyone tell me how to delete the previous versions of a file made by shadow copy? I am asking this because there are a some files in a user's my documents folder that contain some sensitive information in plain text files. The user has not moved the info out of those files and into something with more layers of security but the shadow copies of the files still contain the original info. Thanks for any help.

    From the things that I know, you need to delete the shadow copy for the volume. But even after doing that you will lose all other info. When you will think about it logically when you rename the file? I have not tried it but now there isnt some old history of this renamed file so restore option not available.

    If you use Disk Cleanup to delete restore points after a restore, Disk Cleanup will also delete shadow copies. For more information about how to free up disk space on your hard drive, see Delete files using Disk Cleanup on this link - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/w...g-Disk-Cleanup
