  Hello

  No, unless there's something wrong with the part the drive on which the Restore Points are
  writing the. He would remove them is possible but unlikely. If you want to see
  If drive a mistake yet not be repaired then run CheckDisk (chkdsk) and
  do not check the option FIX or RECOVER. Checkdisk will then tell you if there
  all errors and where they are. Then, if necessary, and there are errors, you can run
  CheckDisk again with the FIX (/ f) and necessary RECOVERY options (/ r).

  To simply check the drive without affecting it uncheck the boxes here displayed in method 1
  #8 and then no data will be affected if there are any errors found.

  Hi Francis,.

  Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  From the description, it seems that the error revceive you associated with VSS snapshot.

  1. What security software is installed on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party backup program installed on the computer?

  To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest that you do Check Disk

  • Press Windows key + R
  • Type "cmd" to open the command prompt.
  • Type Chkdsk/r , and press enter.

  Note:

  If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

  Reply with more information about the issue so that we can help you further.

  I had the same problem with a HP dv5000 has an Intel Dual Core processor, after installed the 10 Pro Update window cleaning, after the update sent by Windows Update Service left me with this problem.

  Thank you post I did check in the menu properties C: Tools.

  After that, I was able to create a Restore Point.

  Thank you very much for your message.

• Products of disk cleanup does not not to remove older restore points

  Hi, I use Vista Home Premium sp2, and although I had this problem for a long time, I barely had time to ask about it.

  I have a separate drive (physically) for my backup/restore points, whenever it fills the only way I can do anything or is to format the drive and try again. Both Vista and CCleaner fail to create a disk space when asked to remove older restore points. There is no error message; They seem to work, but no free space appears on the disc.

  In fact, the only software that I can remember that actually create any space by deleting old restore points was the Norton AV that was shipped with the system, but it was on a limited license that has expired for a long time.

  All the advice to avoid the trouble of formatting the hard drive and create a new backup from scratch would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  I think you're confused of Restore Points and backups of your files or a backup of the operating system image.

  Restore Points, who put your computer's settings back to an earlier point in time, are saved on your system, C: drive, not on another drive.

  Backups of files or System Image backups you save to other media; an another hard drive, etc.

  Disk Cleanup and CCleaner does not remove files or backups of the system; You must do it manually.

  See you soon.

  Will system restore remove e-mail accounts created after the date of the restore point

  Hello Nick,

  The emails and your gmail account settings would not be affected. But, if you have configured your user account in Windows 8 with the newly created Gmail account, these configurations too after the restore point then only, would be affected not the main account to the Gmail server.

• How can I free up space on my C drive without dumping files I need to power my computer? Windows XP 2002

  How can I free up space on my C drive without dumping files I need to power my computer? I have currently 40,4 GB used and I don't know how or what is out there that I don't need? I have a backup of system restore that takes a lot of space, but Im saying that I can not remove it by a pop-up box that says access denied even though I have since transferred it on my external backup hard drive. Can someone please help? Thank you

  To remove manually restore points, you will need to login to safe mode and change the permissions in the Security tab of the restore point. However, I do not recommend this.

  MARKTRAVIS

  Hi Mark,
   
  I appreciate the efforts that you put to publish the query on this forum.
   
  However, it would be better if you can provide some details related to the query:
  (1) is there a third party security software installed on the computer?
  (2) there the restore points that are created on the computer before this problem?
   
  System Restore automatically recommends the last restore created before a significant change like installing a program point.
   
  To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new.
   
  You can also follow these steps to increase the memory allocated for the restoration of the system:
  (a) press Windows and Pause Break to open System Properties.
  (b) click on the System Protection option.
  (c) click on each disc.
  (d) click on Configure.
  (e) check if the allocation of memory on each hard disk is allocated.
   
  The settings above, you can also check if there are restore points available on the computer. Click System Restore, and check if you are able to find restore points.
   
  To solve the problem, if you have installed a third-party security software on the computer, I suggest you temporarily disable and check if it solves the problem.
  Important note: Security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Please let us know about the status of this issue.

• Dates of the Restore Points are one month in advance

  For reasons I don't understand, the date of the day on my computer was changed to one month before the effective date, for example from May 13 to June 13, 2013. As a specialist, I kept getting messages that my Microsoft Security Essentials were outdated. Later, I discovered that all the restore points created after May 13 are dated June 13. I corrected the date and have updated Security Essentials and things are back to normal, but I have several restore points, a month in advance. Restore recent points are correctly dated now, but what can I do on these wrong, before the restore points. Thank you.

  If the pc works fine, then 2 options:

  1 turn off the system restore, which will remove all items, reboot, restart System Restore, and a system checkpoint will be created.

  2. go to disk cleanup, use the tab options, System Restore, cleanup, it will erase everything but the last system restore points.

• How can I free up space on recovery (D) drive? I'm new with the computer...

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Hi Luis Sarubbi,.

  The recovery drive is there for one purpose and that is to store the recovery image. You shouldn't have anything else on this drive other than the recovery files. As the space for the recovery disks is relatevely small the only way to free up a space is to move the files to another drive or deleting files. Why is it necessary that you free up space on this drive? Unless you know exactly the name of the recovery of all files, you might end up deleting or moving something that is necessary for recovery. If you end up doing it any subsequent recovery may fail.

  Unless there is a specific reason for needing to free up space on this drive, for example, you have been storing document on disk files, then I season you quit well.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

  Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

  If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.
