System Restore = Unwanted Files??

[BoonDock]

Ok new comp. problem.

SO with this new computer I have - I screwed up some installations and went back to default settings via System Restore (which I'll turn off as soon as I get my comp where I want it)...problem is - that now my hard drive says I have space used up that shouldn't be there because if we are to think of this literally - then whatever was there before - should be gone now. etc. etc. etc.

Is there a program out there that can find these files (because I can't find them in the actual programs folder taking up space etc.) and use it to delete these unwanted files?

Any help is as always appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Which OS/Version are you running? If it is Vista, you can use Disk Cleanup. Select the All User option and see how much space you save :hoser:

Trying it now - I'll let you know if that gets rid of the extra stuff. :thumb:

Well ... It seemed to work - but if I use the program PC Inspector File Retrieval ... it finds the progam files still and I can still retrieve them ... (wish it just gave me a delete option)

Any more ideas K-man? Thanks for the help! :thumb:
