Hi,

I would suggest reducing the amount of disk space System Restore is set
to hold restore points. Reducing the Store size will purge the oldest
restore points on a First In Firsts Out (FIFO) bases and leave as many
recent restore points as the new size will allow.

Here are some tips on adjusting disk space and keeping System Restore
healthy.

If you think your system is stable, just turn RP off, then right
back on. That'll delete all of them in one fell swoop. Then,
adjust the percentage of your HD you want to reserve, and
immediately create a new RP to protect your system until the
next time a system check point is created.
