Windows was aware of hidden files, associated with the shadow volume, which is associated with creating system images with Windows 7 Backup. By deleting the image the way you did, you orphaned the information, one of the reason's I don't use the built-in software to create images of my system disks.– RamhoundCommented Nov 23, 2022 at 3:40

@Ramhound Thank you! I am learning this lesson right now. I just tried repairing from my saved Image, which I had put on a USB stick. Windows could not find it. I assume it's missing the "mediaID.bin" file. ALSO... super lame. That you cannot change the name of the folder containing the Windows Image. I had changed to WindowsImageBackup 001, 002, 003 etc. and made notes of my incremental Images. But no, to restore an image using Windows, that folder can only be called "WindowsImageBackup". So no way of keeping track of which images are which. Just dumb all around. Will stick with Macrium etc.– HoffCommented Nov 23, 2022 at 3:57

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
