If you exit Disk Cleanup, you will be prompted again that you'll permanently delete some files. Once again, you will be warned that everything will be deleted but the most recent restore point.
Wait a minute or two until Windows scans and click on the More Options tab at the top.Ĭlick on Clean up under System Restore and Shadow Copies. Click on Disk Cleanup.Ĭlick on Clean up system files. Open File Explorer and right-click on your C: drive and select Properties. If you keep a drive image as we do, then we disable System Restore to improve system performance.Ģ: Delete All but the Most Recent Restore Point Use the slider next to Max Usage to change the amount of drive space allocated. Opinions vary, but we wouldn't use 10-25%. Because System Restore will delete old restore points, limiting the space used can save you the trouble of having to remove Restore Points because Windows will automatically delete the old Restore Point as space gets limited.
Windows still, by default, uses 100% of your drive space as potential space for Restore Points. You can enable or disable System Restore and even decide how much space can be used. You might have also noted a few System Restore options you can change here as well. Click on Continue, and all Restore Points will be deleted. Highlight your main drive, usually (C:)(System) and click on Configure.Ĭlick on Delete near the lower right, and a warning will appear that you're about to delete all restore points. You are now in the System Protection tab of System Properties. Press the Windows Key + R and type in SystemPropertiesProtection followed by the enter key. While we're poking around System Restore, we'll also point out a few other things, like how much space to use and how to enable or disable System Restore entirely. TIP: Hard to fix Windows Problems?
