How To Remove Old System Restore Points

System Restore automatically creates restore points by making shadow copies of Windows, these copies can take up memory and build up quickly as you use your computer.

By cleaning up System Restore points by Deleting all but the last restore point will free up memory and maybe improve windows performance slightly.

Note: You should only use this feature if you are 100% sure you will not need the old system restore points, because once they have been deleted...they are gone for good!

To remove all but the last system restore point follow these simple steps.

Click the Start Button and type CleanMgr and Press Enter.

Choose your Default Hard Drive (normally Drive C) and click OK.
