    Clear all but the latest system restore point?


    Hi,
    Just a quickie ! Their must be a simply solution to this, but I can't find it !
    How do you erase the old system restore points?
    I would like to keep the latest restore point , but my anti virus keeps scanning the lot, and it takes ages.
    Thanks !!!

    Hello Brother,

    In addition, you can also use Disk Cleanup (step 8) to remove all but the latest restore point. The free program CCleaner has a "Tools" feature that allows you to delete restore points as well.

    Hope this helps,
