re: You can delete _Restore folder permanently ! Wednesday, January 21, 2004 at 6:25 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dick Gammage (1 messages posted) I have a 19Gb C: drive. Yesterday, all but 1 Gb appeared used up. So I disabled _RESTORE - wonderful! 14Gb, yes 14Gb were released. BUT, I came in today and, although the _RESTORE box is still checked (=disabled) the 14Gb are back showing as tied up again. Any ideas?
