Either do a clean-up of the relevant disk(s) and choose More Options/
System Restore/ delete all but the latest restore point;
or
Turn system restore off for the disk (which will delete the whole lot)
and then switch it on again.

Hi Ray. Sure, turn it off and that deletes all restore points. Then
later turn it back on.

Use CCleaner. It will list all restore points and you can delete all but the last one.

You should warn people that registry cleaners can make their system
unbootable and totally useless.

As far as I know restore points aren't stored in the registry so registry cleaning is not involved.

Yes, but CCleaner is indeed a registry cleaner too.

The Restore Point manager in CCleaner has nothing to do with it's Registry
Cleaner.
It's a separate tool.

You obviously have no experience of CCleaner and it's separate functions.

You obvious *love* harming others! There is no way in the world would I
even mention CCleaner without mentioning what harm it can do to your
system!

Once in a while I clear out my killfile to see if anybody
in there has stopped being a pain in the arse.
You have promoted yourself back in there. 'Bye.

Telling unsuspecting people to use such a dangerous utility without any
warnings whatsoever makes you a very dangerous person. People like you
waste people's time and money. And it doesn't surprise me one bit you
run and hide when you are exposed. That is what bad people do. Good
people don't do this.

This from the guy who advocates not installing Windows updates &
patches because he can manage Windows security better than Microsoft
can. Irony, thy name is BillW50...

You can not delete individual restore points. You can delete them all
by turning off system restore, then turning it back on. Or you can
delete all but the most recent by going to My Computer, right-clicking
your drive, and choosing Properties; then click on Disk Cleanup and
choose the More Options tab.

Very common among those who has no respect for the truth to hide behind
their killfile.

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident." -- Arthur Schopenhauer -- German philosopher (1788 -
1860)

And speaking about the dunces who opposes the truth.

Jonathan Swift once said about 250 years ago: "When a true genius
appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are
all in confederacy against him."

I am personally amazed by the stupidity of humanity. Even when taught
history in school since they were a child, most people continue to prove
history repeats itself over and over again.

Really? Do I really tell people that? No I don't think so. I do tell
people that *I* update *only* some of my computers. You really are not
much fond of the truth, are you Zaphod?
