Disk Cleanup in Vista 64 bit not deleting older restore points?

[Don]

Hey gang,

I have had this behavior in disk cleanup, both prior to SP1 and after
installing SP1.

Sometimes, when doing disk cleanup, I like to delete older restore points.
When you choose to do disk cleanup for all users, you are given a " more
options" tab, and from there can choose to delete all but the latest restore
point.

However, when I do this, it does not delete any of my older restore points,
they all remain.

Anyone else run across this? I am not sure why it is not doing that, far as
I know I am doing it properly.
I am running Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

Thanks for any feedback here,

My guess would be some permission error. I would try running cleanmgr with
full admin rights. Rightclick a Command Prompt icon, and "run as
administrator', then at the prompt:
start cleanmgr
