Have you ever got the feeling that you are losing space in your hard disk for no apparent reason? Have you tried finding out the sum total space occupied by all the files, and found that the available free space in the drive is lesser than expected (i.e. there is a certain amount of space which is occupied, but unaccounted for?) If you have, and are wondering where and what is occupying this space, read on.
Windows Vista has a utility called System Restore which is enabled by default. Periodically the operating system takes a snapshot of your computer and saves it as a Restore Point. This gives you the option to restore it back to this state at some point in the future, if you choose to. However, a vast majority of us do not utilize System Restore and are unaware that the restore points are occupying precious space on our hard disks.
A good practice to follow, provided your system is running smoothly, is to delete old restore points except the most recent one, by performing Disk Cleanup on a period basis.
This helps ensure the following dual advantages:
1. Unnecessary outdated save points are deleted
2. Retain the option to perform a System Restore to an earlier stable state if required.
