In fact, you don't WANT to do either. Windows will _automatically_ delete them as you use more space, and it needs to reclaim it. The only thing you accomplish by manually deleting them and lowering the limit is to limit how much backup data you have, and how far back you can go to get that REALLY important file that you aren't sure how you deleted.. or maybe it was your cat, kid, SO. This is like those memory "expanders" that chew up all the memory and then free it to show you how much "free" memory you have now; by tossing all of the 'cached' files out; "Free" memory and "free hard-drive space is wasted space. If you're not actually "out", why do you care what it's used for if its holding more of your data? Sigh, you don’t need to delete these, you don’t need to adjust the free space.

I bought a new notebook PC for college about four weeks ago and I was losing about 1.5 GB per day. After cleaning out the System Restore files and limiting Vista's storage for them, I gained about 40 GB back! I'm really happy this was a Vista problem and not a malware problem. Thanks again! =} Thank you!
