- How do I restore Free Space after System Restore?
- Posted by Shur007@gmail.com on December 17th, 2005
Hello!
Whenever I do a System Restore to an earlier date, I have been noticing
that the C Drive keeps losing its free space more and more. For
example, my hard disk had 10.6GB free space, but after I did the System
Restore two to three times my hard disk free space has drastically
dropped down to 7.78GB!
How do I bring back my hard disk's free space to over 10GB again? Are
there any files or folders I need to delete? What are those and where
do I delete these from?
I thank you for your time and help, and look forward to hearing from
you soon.
Thanks,
G

Hi,
Take a look at how much disk space is allocated to hold restore points
and adjust it down to around 1gb. There's no need for more than that.
Then check the amount of free disk space available.
How to Adjust the amount of disk space System Restore uses:
