Vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /for=C: /Maxsize={n}

{N} stands for the appropriate size you would like to assign in MB or GB. The unit must be stated

for example Maxsize=100MB or 100GB

NOTE: once activated this will delete all old restore points your system have created

I hope this info will be useful to all those who prefer using the command prompt to carry out system activities
