Thanks; b=as I wrote in my original message, I was able to determine that it
was the System restore points that were causing me to lose 3 to 4GB of HDD
space daily becuase when I turned off System restore, I regained a whole lot
of space. However, the new restore points simply start again to be created
in the same 3 to 4GB Size. I don't want to turn if off permanently, it a
resource I may need some day. The issue is, and I hope someone has the
answer, the PC is almost 2 yrs old and just about 3 weeks ago it started to
save Restore points in this 3 to 4GB size, prior to that I could go a week
and not lose 1GB. I have not installed\chnaged or altered anything on my PC
so that is not the reason for the large restore Files. Hopefully someone
knows what file ot files overnight grew so large as to cause the abnormally
large size System Restore points on my PC....possibly that file(s) can be
altered or deleted...afterall, my PC ran fine for 24 mos.....without the
large File(s).
