Thread: getting rid of 2 GB used by system restore.

  1. #1

    Default getting rid of 2 GB used by system restore.

    Alright I know it's not a good idea to get rid of system restore but I was just wondering if theres a way to do it. I know how to disable it but that doesn't seem to get rid of the memory used... so is there any way to stop it from taking up 2GB?
    I seriously got this the first time I tried it.

    under the turn off option is a slider, slide it as far left as possible and it goes down to about 20 megs...

    What do I do if the slider is there but it won't let me move it?

    If it's disabled though, it shouldn't be taking up any space on the drive.

    With/without disabling system restore, just do: My Computer > Right click on c:\ (or any other drive that has restore on) > properties > disk cleanup > let it calculate (it can take a while) > more options > system restore > clean up > yes > ok > ok/yes

    And then there is Death
