Hello,
In fact, the System restore and shadow copies will normally take up to 15% of your hard drive space.
To regain this space you could switch off system restore altogether and use a utility such as Acronis True Image for regular backups of your hard drive.
You can also use a command line tool to reduce the amount of drive space that system restore takes.
To do this, Go to
>Start
>All Programs
>Accessories
>Command Prompt
And right-click command prompt.
Choose Run As Administrator, click Continue to accept the UAC prompt, and then type this command:
vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=1GB
Press "Enter" to execute the command and type "Exit", and then press Enter again to close the command prompt window.
But remember that whatever figure you choose will reduce the number of restore points available to you.
