(unlike the disk-cleanup option this cleans up the restore point even if there is only the latest one which is not possible with disk cleanup).<br /><b>NOTE: make sure to create a restore point as soon as you delete it so you are not caught without one by mistake.</b><br /><br />Both options are present in the <b>system protection</b> tab of your <b>system properties</b> along with other restore options.Agamemnon the builderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137759908960289709noreply@blogger.com
