AnswerChanging the size that System Restore takes Up?

    I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

    I realise that the system restore program is very valuable. But it is taking up far too much space!! After I cleaned it up leaving the most recent restore point, it was taking up 30GB, this is MASSIVE. I only just want one or two system restore points, not 30GB worth. I never seemed to have this problem on my old XP computer.

    I understand there is a command that i can insert into the admin command centre, I have tried this but to no avail. It doesnt seem to recognise it which is weird. Maybe theres no such functon on my vista computer?

    Also, I was wondering, I have one big hard drive thats 250GB thats been split into two hard drive ( on the computer) which is 220GB and other is 10GB. The computer was pre-installed for me. There is a dell folder that has an image in form of WIM format. on the smaller hard drive called D: Recovery.  Will I need this or can I delete it? It is 5GB. I have no use for dell programs at all so is it safe for me to delete this or not?

    Kind regards! Big Smile
