How much space does a Restore Point take? "Martin Murray" <email[ at ]martinmurray.com> 13.07.2007 19:32:24 How much room should I really allocate for restore points? System Restore wants 10% of my 100GB drive and that seems like way too much.

Re: How much space does a Restore Point take? "Rich Barry" <rbarry[ at ]socal.rr.com> 13.07.2007 20:18:41 Martin, I would allocate 2G. You could delete the older restore points by opening the System Volume Folder until you get to the RP numbered folders. You may have quite a few and I would delete everything except the last four or five. If the System Volume Folder is not available in C:\ you can go to WindowsExplorer>Tools>Folder Options>View> Click on Show Hidden files and folders and uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

Actually, you can do it this way: In Windows Explorer, right click your C:\ drive then select Properties On the General tab, click Disk Cleanup button When disk cleaner is finished scanning, go to the More Options tab Under System Restore, click Clean up and select Yes -- Thanks, Jon E.
