Hi

My girlfriend's Vista Laptop ASUS F3S is too greedy! Every week, my friend lost 10Go of "free space" on C:\. The only way we found is to cancel every week the "Restore System"

Before/After C:\ Free Space 40,4 Go to 50,4Go and on D:\ 49,7Go to 51,7Go

I never see that on XP!!!!

Any idea?

Thanks for your help

Hello, Panayotis. Please go in to the start menu and type in the search box Disk Cleanup. In disk cleanup, you can check a box to clean up System Restore. It will delete all but the last restore point.

If you would like it cleaned up, go ahead. What are the results?

Thanks for your reply... I knew Disk CleanUp
But i wondered why System Restore took so much space.
After reading many forum it seems to be normal...15% of my hard disk!!!!
