Solved Show all restore points

[bigseb]

Spent the last day reinstalling my OS along with all my software, updated everything, etc, etc. Now my PC is a (in my opinion) a pristine state.

Restore point created.

Here's my question: is it possible to show all other restore points so that I can pick and delete them discriminately. This latest restore point is one I want to hang on to above all others.

Why do you want that... it doesn't reclaim you any space! All restore points are incrementals (changes since prior restore point). Do you really want to delete some restore points? Actually you are merging restore points then.

Update: it will save you same space if same block has been update in restore point

You can use ccleaner as explained here http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/336-system-protection-restore-points-delete.html or "System Restore Explorer" explained in same article.

If you want to keep a complete backup of your pristine install you should consider creating a System Backup Image.
Restore Points are not a complete backup of the C (OS) partition.
Restore Points can "get deleted" without you knowingly doing it.
Restore Points are also more susceptible to being corrupted by malware, as they are always online.

With System Backup Images you can keep them on an offline Hard Drive, and control how long you keep them.

I suggest using Macrium free, but there are many other programs you can use.
