Inside Snapshot .tars are multiple corrupt DBs. How to delete? - solved

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Solution:
Found them in /config/

They did not show up in mapped directory in Windows, but do show up in WinSCP.

Original Question:
Inside my Snapshot tars are multiple corrupt DBs.
This is running in a VM, so I think I can just delete these, but not sure where they are?
I’d like them gone, as they are increasing my Snapshot size by about a third.
Thanks!

So when you run the vssadmin command and finds shadow copies that don’t belong to the window, it will skip it and results in this error.

Thanks for the response. Is vssadmin a Windows thing? I am running Home Assistant OS in Virtualbox on Ubuntu.
