Computer Tips, Tricks, Tweaks and Tutorials - Clean Up Your Vista Backups and Restore Points.

I showed you yesterday how what you needed to do when you want to make a backup of your Vista files. But that’s not the only option that Vista has for making backups. Vista has many new features for making backups. Vista saves the previous versions of your documents and the system state points which are part of system restore. These features are great and I’m glad we have them but they can steal a lot of HD space.

Today’s Vista Tip and Tick is about how to remove these system backups but I wouldn’t do this too often. These backups are not done for fun; I suggest that you only do this when your system is running stable and clean. If you have some system problems, don’t touch this Tip & Trick.

Clean up your backups and restore points.

· Go to start.

· Type in disk cleanup.

· And click on enter.
