Over the course of the last few months, i have upgraded to WindowsXP, added
more memory, installed a home network, and added some new software. All
along the way I created restore points, just in case, since i was doing so
much to overhaul my system.
The first part of my question is this; does each restore point that i've
created take up a lot of disk space? I've noticed when i defrag and run my
virus scan, it takes quite a while and goes thru a lot of files that begin
with C:\_RESTORE\Temp...
The second part of my question is this; If these restore points are taking
up a lot of disk space, is there a way to delete them, or should i just turn
off the system restore to delete them, then turn it back on and create 1 new
restore point, or should i just leave well enough alone?
I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone can give me!! Thanks!!
