Shadow Copy Help

by andeanderson . Updated 18 years, 11 months ago

I made a mistake the other week. During a scheduled maintenance procedure I noticed two users with a lot of MP3s in their ?E:\User Documents\username\My Documents? folders on the Server.

Without thinking I deleted the MP3s from the server.

A couple of days later I realized my error when I tried to empty the Recycle Bin. I could not empty or remove the files. I could not even restore them because the Shadow Copy had already re-synchronized with the users “My Documents” and put fresh copies back onto the server.

The second time around I took the MP3s off of the workstations. But, I now have these orphaned MP3s stuck in my SBS 2003 Recycle Bin.

Even as Administrator I have been unable to clear out or take ownership of the MP3s, I receive the error message that I do not have the permissions to do anything with them.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
