The "proper" cleaning procedure is apparently DISM and startcomponentcleanup
or something like that. That should remove all of them except two for April,
as a guess.
"Run this in an elevated command prompt.
It will remove all but the last (newest) folder in the LCU folder.
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
"
I suppose that ensures that the maintenance system, knows the backup
items have been removed. Me yanking them away, maybe it never checks
that they are still present.
For the hiberfile
powercfg /h off
and then test your backup. It should be gone then.
And for pagefile, I use Start : Run : sysdm.cpl and adjust
the size of pagefile to be fixed (non-expandable) at 1024MB.
Sysdm.cpl looks like it did, in WinXP or so.
Removing the hiberfile can affect some features, such as
what happens when the system crashes and you really wanted
a complete image of the entire memory (that is not a default behavior
and has to be set up). It is used for hibernation.
It might even be used for Fast Start (which I don't use).
Some of my "habits", may not be appropriate for others, because
of my variations on "paving policies", when I choose to pave
something to fix it :-)
