Backup+fracas

Shortage of Disc space in Win 7

I was on the point of buying an additional Hard Drive for my second Drive of 500Gb was almost full. I tried to remove items that I did not want but all to no avail.

Then almost by accident I looked at my Backups and to my horror saw masses of backups, 6-10 per day and every day of the year.

I deleted them all and suddenly had now recovered over 300Gb of free space.

Wow!!! How to:-

Control Panel > System > System Protection In System Protection you may only have a max of 70Gb but you actually have 300Gb or more In restore Settings you can delete all and you can turn off System Protection & then you have to manually Backup, which is no problem

Also in System Protection you can configure the Restore Settings & also Create a Backup and name it


 * __Note__**
 * Ensure that you implement the above for all drives**
