Stuck with 50 checkpoints (recovery type) and unable to delete.

Hi,

I have a server 2016 where the windows backup kept creating recovery points.  We noticed to late and now we are stuck with 50 recovery points which we cannot delete.

It looks like this and the tree just goes deeper.


When trying to delete them from the GUI or powershell we get the following error on every checkpoint:

Cannot delete checkpoint: Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF). Checkpoint ID C5403A69-C9E9-4EDC-A441-46BFCBDF8CA8.
Virtual machine failed to generate VHD tree: 'Catastrophic failure'('0x8000FFFF').

I'm unable to create a new recovery point and export from there as I hit the limit of 50 recovery points.

I'm unable to merge because it are recovery checkpoints and I heard you should not merge this.

What are my options to fix this, could anybody shed some light on this?

Thank you!
Chris
