I know you can reset the space Windows allots to System Restore, but as I'm new to doing this, I would prefer to have greater flexibility to be selective.

I was disappointed that my application QRM Plus Manager says it has created new "Cancelled Operation" restore points for the points I used it to delete. What a program!

So I have CCleaner, but its help file at http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleane...restore-points says "Note: CCleaner removes references to the System Restore points, but may not actually remove all files related to each point."

Therefore I am interested in alternatives for this task. I have many programs, and just like I had CCleaner for a long time without noticing it had a System Restore module, maybe something familiar has a capacity I don't know about.

System Restore Manager 2.0 {Portable}

System Restore Manager is a freeware portable utility which allows you to completely manage your Windows system restore points and customize its options.

Using this utility, you can:

1.Create a Restore Point on the fly, by clicking the Create Button.
2.Restore your Windows PC to a prior restore point. Just select a Restore Point from the list and click the Restore Button. This will Restart your computer and launch the Restore Process.
3.See all the available restore points.
4.Selectively remove Restore Points you don’t want and save the one’s you want.
5.Just select a Restore Point from the list and click the Delete Button.
6.Select a Drive and change the maximum amount of disk space to use, System Restore can use. On Windows 7, the default is 5% of available disk space.
7.Change the System Restore Point Creation Interval. On Windows 7, the default is 24 Hours.
8.Change the Restore Point Time to Live. The default is 90 days,on Windows 7.

Have you tried using Windows Disk Cleanup?
Remember to Run as Admin for more clean-up options. Located in the system32 folder "C:\Windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe", it's described as a Disk Space Cleanup Manager for Windows.
