I tried to use system restore at the beginning of the
month and the only restore point available was too late
for what I needed, but I wasn't able to toggle between
months to get an earlier point. So, if there is nothing
that can be changed about that, then is there a way to
recover large amounts of deleted files from a hard drive?
 
Hi

The amount of space allocated to SR can be changed:

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore
tab. Highlight the appropriate drive and then click Settings. Use the
slider to increase/decrease the amount for SR.

If the deleted files were data ones, then SR doesn't monitor those, so
wouldn't have helped in the recovery. If the files aren't in the Recycle
Bin, you may be able to retrieve them with a 3rd party program:
