How clean old "Image backups" from restore list ?

[Okks]

Hello,

I made some trial and errors with the image backup tool in Windows 7 and created a bunch of them. However, I deleted them manually from my hard drives.

Now, when I go in "System Restore" and click on "show more restore points", I see a big list of shadow copies that can't be used, because I deleted the sources files manually.

The problem : there is NO way to delete those entries.

I tried :

- Restarting the image back up tool of Windows 7 via regedit
- Cleaning all of my hard drives restore points using the cleaning tool
- Disabling any restore protection in Windows 7

Normal restore points all disappeared from the list. BUT thos shadow copies still remain in the list.

I have the same issue than this guy :
