Uninstalling Outlook stationary is *decreasing* my disk free space

[Renee]

Hi, I hope I'm in the right ng where someone can help.

I'm trying to free up some room on my hard drive. Control Panel - Add Remove
Programs - shows there are several Outlook stationary items that take up
over 4 GB each!

Everytime I uninstall one of the stationary items, Explorer shows my disk
free space *decreasing* by about .03 GB.

It's bazaar. Uninstalling something is taking up *more* room on my hard
drive. (Nothing shows up in the Recycle Bin after I uninstall either.)

Does anyone know why I'm not recovering any free space after deleting
stationary?

TIA

Renee

It could be Windows XP's System Restore causing this.

Thanks, Robert. That's got to be it. I looked at my System Restore calendar
for today and noticed that every time I deleted a stationary item, the
system did a restore checkpoint.

Not all of my stationary items appear in Add Remove Programs. I'm guessing
it's only the newer ones I downloaded.

In any event, I'm going to delete all the 4 GB stationary items. Then I'm
going to clear out my System Restore files. The combination ought to give me
a LOT more storage.
