Where are the restore files located in XP Pro and can any be deleted safely?
J
JS
The System Volume Information folder is where 'System Restore' creates and
stores restore points folders and files.
How to gain access to the System Volume Information folder:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531
Safe Removal:
Select Start/Control Panel/System, then in the System Properties window
click on the System Restore tab.
Next select the drive letter where Windows is installed (usually C
,
Then click on the Setting button
Now in the Drive Settings window move the Disk space usage slider to the
left to reduce the amount of drive space System Restore points will use.
This will remove some of the older restore points and free up some space.
