Have you tried deleting it from a dos command prompt?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Veritas Snapshot Feature

Hi guys - 

        Is there an easy way to disable the Veritas Snapshot for Windows
feature (not that I want to, but the Windows admins want it off of their
servers)?  From what I have read over the weekend, it looks like this is an
integral piece of the backup process and cannot be disabled.  However, the
'leftover' files are not getting deleted and they are 'crashing' servers.
Of course, this is because the C: drives only have 4G total, and they are
getting full, and so they want to delete these files first.  

        The leftover files are the _vxfiVspCacheFile_2.tmp files that are on
each volume... And sometimes they get left behind, probably when a backup
job fails, is interrupted, or cancelled.  This seems to happen quite a bit
in our environment which needs a bit of coaxing right now.  Is there an easy
way to delete these files as well?  Stopping the NBU service and trying to
delete it doesn't work, and it doesn't appear that there are any processes
that have it open.

Thanks!

Jennifer
