How to Clean-up Old Restore Points<\/span><\/h1>\n

Disk Cleanup can be used to remove all but the most recent Restore Point.\u00a0 Do this only if your computer is running normally and you\u2019re having no problems. If you are having problems you shouldn\u2019t clear old restore points because you may have to go back to an earlier restore point. Restore points take up a lot of disk space, so if your computer is running well, there\u2019s not much sense in keeping a dozen restore points. One or two recent restore points should be plenty. \u00a0If your computer isn\u2019t running well, and hasn\u2019t been running well, don\u2019t remove any old restore points.<\/span><\/p>\n
