Disk Cleanup - Unable To Delete Restore Points

[Guest Nightsampler]

In Disk Cleanup under "Other Options" I am unable to delete all but the most

recent restore point.

I can delete all points by disabling SR, and then re-enabling it, but I

prefer using the recommended procedure.

Any suggestions? or am I missing something obvious.

You can change System Restore settings to allocate less disk space for

the restore files. You don't need to set aside 12% of your hard disk

space for these files, especially if you have a large C: drive. I've got

my 120 gb hard drive setting at 3% and I still have 28 restore points

showing, probably much more than I really need or can even use. I've

never gone back more than two or three restore points.

Thanks for your advice.

I'm still baffled why my notebook is unable to do what it's supposed to do!

I'll try 3%!
