How to Turn Off System Restore to Save Disk Space
If you are running out of space on your system hard disk, you should configure your system default options to consume as lower space as possible. System default options like thumbnail cache with thumbs.db, system restore, file indexing, system backup etc consume more disk space to work freely. You can disable such options and can free up to 1 GB of space on your computer. Here, this tutorial will guide you on saving disk space by disabling System Restore on your computer.
System restore is used to back up system files only. This feature automatically takes the back up of your system files, registry files, system settings etc and store them on your hard disk. Unlike other backup softwares, it does not replace the older backup file with the newer one. It creates several backups of several days and stores them all on your hard drive, resulting in a lower disk space.
How to Turn off System Restore on Windows
- Navigate to Start >> Control Panel >> System
- Select System restore tab
- Check the Turn off system restore on all drives option
- Click on OK >> Apply to save the changes
- You are done.

Now your system won’t take any further system files backup. But you are still having the older backups on your computer and it’s time to remove them. All system restore backups are stored in a system volume information folder. Different Windows versions have different locations for this folder. You can refer to this page, to find out the ways to locate system volume information folder on your computer and remove the older system restore backup files and save hard disk space.
