Scripting System Restore

[Guest]

I am trying to figure out if their is a way to delete old system restore
points using a script or batch file? I want to do the same thing as Disk
Cleanup, More Options, Clean Up.
I would want a non-admin user to be able to run the script.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Jeff

There is no way to delete System restore points selectively at all,
regardless of how you do it. You can either delete them all, or all but the
last one. Those are the only choices.

Hi Jeff,

I don't know of a script will delete all but the newest restore point as
disk clean-up does, but here's a script that will delete all existing
restore points by disabling and enabling System Restore.

Quickly reset all the System Restore points (Windows XP)
