Working Solution

On the command line:

vssadmin List Shadows

This will show you a list of your shadow copies (the shadow of the CSC folder will not be locked). Look for and copy the highest numbered original address.

Secondly we make a link to the shadow copy:

mklink /D C:\LatestShadow \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy417\

The rightmost part of that should be the original address you copied before

Next use robocopy to get all the files out of the cache

mkdir C:\CSC_copy
robocopy C:\LatestShadow\Windows\CSC C:\CSC_copy /E /ZB /COPY:DT

You should end up with a copy of all the cache files in C:\CSC_Copy.
