Hi,
I am using system restore. Is there any way to delete a
day on a calender that was restored? Yesterday(monday) I
kept on restoring different days and I have a whole bunch
of restores for that day. Does that take up alot of room
on my hard drive--all those restores for that day. I see
the notice that if I shut off system restore it will
delete all the previous restore points (everything) and I
don't want that. I just want to delete Monday and Sunday
just past.
Thank-you,
Connie

Restores form a chain, and you cannot delete out of the chain without
damage (an attempt will probably result in it stopping working.

They will drop out of the store as the space fills, oldest first

You might usefully review the amount of space allotted - in System -
System Restore highlight the drive and settings. The default of 12% of
a drive seems to be too much for its own good on big drives. I'd keep
it under 1GB and actually use 500MB

When you have a later point made that you are happy to regard as a base,
you can use
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup
and in its More Options, reduce to just the latest restore point
