Restore Points
Is it possible to remove individual restore points or do you have to delete all and then make a new one?

You can delete all but the most recent - it's somewhere in the advanced options in disk cleanup. You can't be selective though.

Someone chime in and coirrect me if I'm wrong here but I believe you can partially delete restore points by reducing the percentage of space used for them on your hard drive.
Right click on my computer, go to properties, system restore. Move the slider to the left until you are at about 5 %. -Kev

Yes, that will work, but that's not very "selective". You have to guess as to the percentage to set it to.
System Restore is pretty much a differential backup. Thus, every restore point is dependent on the points that come after it. To restore your computer to how it was a week ago, Windows will restore to the restore point from yesterday, then the day before, then the day before, until it gets to the restore point that you want. This also explains why system restore often fails: if one restore point is screwed up, all the points before it won't work. So if your restore point from two days ago doesn't work, you won't be able to restore to last week. |
