I have been working a few cases with Veritas about this issue...

Here is a way to delete the vsp temp files WITHOUT a reboot!!

To delete the VSP temp files without a reboot.
 

2. This is the tool to manually remove the tmp files left over.

Process Explorer Usage to remove the cache file:
1) Expand System Idle Process
2) Select and highlight System , you will notice in the bottom half of the
screen will populate with a list of all the processes that are running under
the System account.
3) Sort the Name Field by name and scroll down till you see the entries that
start with \Device\VSPSnapshot0\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp (depending on the
number of drives, you may find more then one mapping in the list that use
the same naming convention)
4) Highlight the first \Device\VSPSnapshot0\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp, right
click and select Close Handle
5) Next, highlight the associated system handle that physically shows the
drive letter association. Please note, in step 3 we chose
\Device\VSPSnapshot0, normally this should map to the first volume in your
backup selection C:\_vxfiVspCacheFile_1.tmp
** Note: You may find that once the Handle has been closed the system may
become unresponsive for a short time, this most likely is due to the temp
cache being released back to system.
6) Once you've selected the Close Handle option from the drop down menu, you
may then delete the associated TMP file which exist will exist on the root
of the drive in question


Thanks,
