System reserved partition (SRP) is full, needs cleaning
A couple years ago I was trying to get WIndows Backup & Restore working, but it wouldn't because the SRP was full. I found a way at the time that with a few commands (either in CMD window or Powershell) that quickly cleaned out this hidden garbage once you assigned a drive letter in Disk Management. Fixed the problem at the time.
Now Windows Update wants me to go to 2004. OK, I waited long enough. Failed quickly with little clue. Tried then with the 20H2 .iso, this time I got the message that the SRP is full. Win 10 Pro, running 1909. Only 4meg free on SRP, yet treesize says it is only half full (50mb). I cannot remember the commands that clean up this absurd mess. I'm not extending, recreating, because none of that should be necessary.
Anyone know the commands that fix this?
