System Volume Information - Just can't figure out WHAT is in it and Why it is so huge


hello,

i have exchange 2013 server vm, built on windows 2012 server os, , running on windows 2012 datacenter host.

it has literally 3 accounts using it. these accounts have less 1 gig of actual email apiece. 2 @ 100megs...

there no scheduled ups @ all.

there no shadow copies enables (it's literally disabled in ui drive has c:)

there no services running backup (including exchange)

the system says there no actual restore points. when try cleanup see says zero... can't find information on fact has any.

and yet, 300gig virtual harddrive down 5 gigs of space, , entire (visible usage) like, 80gigs....

i assuming rest in svi, because have no idea else be. since above stuff turned off, have no idea else or how stop happening.

so if exposed tools tell me there nothing configured backup, no shadow copies... no services backup running, else possibly in there , how heck stop it.

please , thanks
