system restore

[Guest]

I need system restore for about a month. I know how to remove all but the
last restore point. The restore points do take up space.
QUESTION, is there a way to remove all restore points except the last months?

Reduce the amount of HD space allocated to System Restore.

Go to Control Panel and double click System.
In System Properties, click on the System Restore tab.
In the "Available drives:" box, click on your system drive and
hit the Settings button.
Moving the slider to the left will decrease the number of
restore points saved.

The default setting is to allocate 12% of the drive. By
decreasing this amount, you will delete the oldest restore
points. You should move the slider one notch at a time and
check to see how many restore points are available on the
calendar. Personally, I only keep two weeks worth of restore
points. I've found allocating 1600 MB does the job.

Keep in mind that you can turn off System Restore on any drives
which hold only data.

Good luck

In Disk CleanUp, More Options you have the capacity to remove all but
the latest restore point. Otherwise by turning System Restore Off and On
you remove all. There is no buit in flexibility other the sizing of the
disk space allocation to System Restore. Given that restore points vary
in size you can only hazard a guess as to how restore points will take
up any space allocated.
