I have a compaq v6210us laptop. I need to disable and delete all shadow copies including the c: system parts. The thing keeps hogging up space even after it is disabled. I need to delete ALL c: shadow copies and stop it from coming back. ---what folder are shadow copies and system restore points in ? Also i have vista premium ----edit: I know that it is hogging up space because even after it is disabled, it says the most recent restore point was today - i disabled it three days ago.
