Windows Server Backup - Removing Deleted Items

[Jason 75]

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?  Would prefer to resolve this issue, if possible, and not do a clean OS reinstall.  I suppose if I had to, I'd have to install either WSE16 or WS19.

For anyone who may encounter this with WS2012R2, I've been working directly with Microsoft's SBS engineers.  Short version -- I've identified that wbengine.exe causes an NTDLL.DLL fault when running the latest 2015-2019 Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries (x86, x64).  The fix is to rollback to an earlier version and not all them to be upgraded.  This is a temporary workaround until their engineers are able to issue a fix.
