In Windows XP and Vista, it is possible to configure the disk clean-up tool to delete the restore point and shadow copies when debugging the system. However, Windows 7 does not offer these settings. In Windows 7, the deletion
process does not function similar to
previous versions. In case of used data,
the corresponding option in Windows
7 is very well concealed. To begin with, right-click on drive ‘C:’ in Windows Explorer and select the ‘Properties’ sub-command.
Under the ‘General’ tab, click on the ‘Disk clean-up’ option. While In older versions of Windows, you can switch to ‘Other options’, in Windows 7, first click on the ‘Disk cleanup’ button, and in the next dialog box, you will be able to switch to ‘Other options’.
Subsequently, under ‘System restore and shadow copies’, click on ‘Clean-up’. Simply confirm the security pop-up to delete all old system restore points by clicking on ‘Delete’ followed by clicking on ‘Delete files’.

Increase PC Speed - Run Disk Clean-Up
If you use the System regularly, both Windows and application programs tend to leave temporary files lying around on your hard drive, taking up huge space. A hard drive that is close to being “full” can cause Windows to slow down or interfere with efficient disk access and virtual memory operations. This will ultimately affect your system's performance!
And moreover, if you surf the web a lot, your temporary internet files folder can become quite large, causing Internet Explorer to slow down or malfunction. Cleaning up unneeded files, scanning for disk errors and defragmenting the hard drive can help to restore some zip to your system.
Try to run once a month for peak performance. How can you do this? Here you go...
1. Double-click the My Computer icon.
2. Right-click on the C: drive (if your OS is installed on C)
3. Select Properties
4. Click the Disk Cleanup button (to the bottom-right of the Capacity pie graph)
5. Select check Temporary Internet Files and Recycle Bin
6. Click OK
