I've got WindowsImageBackup catalog which takes up 900GB on my hard drive, of which System Image takes 823 GB. This becomes a problem as it takes nearly half of my data drive.

I'm using "Keep only the latest system image and minimize space" in the system image settings.

System drive size is 255Gb (155 filled and 100 free).

What can I do to decrease the System Image size?

Here's the screenshot of the problem:

The command-line wbadmin tool can be used to delete the backup catalog.

  • In an elevated command prompt, run the following command:

    wbadmin delete catalog
    
  • wbadmin is the command-line Windows Backup tool. This command deletes the backup catalog, removing all record of prior file and system image backups on the machine. You will need to create a new set of backups after running this command. (File History on Windows 8 and later is unaffected.)

More information is available on Microsoft TechNet.
