in Ccleaner slim 5.52 free on windows 7, restore points don't display. I can click under advanced system settings to create a windows restore point but in the Ccleaner System restore tab there are no listed points. Something is preventing Ccleaner from listing my restore points, and so I can't delete restore points using Ccleaner. I can see my restore points list only if I run/start system restore. Windows system restore point delete will only delete all restore points. It would be better if I could find something to manage my restore points but no program seems to list/see them. Ccleaner was my go to program for this, but something has changed & I don't know what.
- Run Antibody's Wiztree. It will show the size of the folder "System Volume Information". That's the folder where the System Restore Points (SRPs) are stored.
- Even if CCleaner shows no SRPs then that one folder can contain GBs in data.
I see, there is a hidden folder C:/System Volume Information/ that I can brows by entering that under file manager. I will half to look into this. I don't really understand how my restore points are saved. For example, I created a restore point & named it "one" yet I don't see any files with that name. I may half to create & delete points from the advanced system settings menu to learn how the points are saved to edit them. Yet I do see a windows backup & windows img backup. I don't want to delete the wrong thing but this is a good start to learn what all this means. Thanks, At least I see this volume folder on any drive with restore points & not on drives that have it turned off. I did a google search for antibody wiztree download & will be trying that too
