I read on here somewhere that there is a way to delete system restore points
that you don't want anymore. I just want to keep the few most recent. Where
was it that I go again? I have gone everywhere trying to remember!

Thanks! Next time I'll write it down.

Another way to reduce the number of restore points you store is to reduce
your overall datastore(s) size. If you have multiple partitions you will
have a data store on each partition. You can access a control to reduce the
size via the Control Panel- System Applet (classic viewA) and then choose
the System Restore tab or CPL (category view) Performance & Maitenance and
then choose System =>System Restore tab. Adjust the disk space usage slider
control. If you have more than one drive (the system drive is listed first)
select and click settings- There you will see the disk space useage slider.
Depending on your disk size and the type of activity you do, your mileage
may vary on the number of restore points you can save. I would suggest
reducing by smaller increments initially until you get a feel as to how many
days worth of restore points you really need. As soon as you hit ok - you
can check the impact of the adjustment, by opening the SR UI wizard and
checking how many days worth of restore points you now have. Hope this
helps.

But doesn't that delete all but the most recent one. I, too, would like to
retain the most recent two or three.
