Welcome to Extreme Web Designs. My name is Rocky and in this video, I am going to show
you, how to delete a specific Restore Point or Multiple Restore Points in Windows 10,
so let's get started.
On your desktop, in the lower left hand corner of the screen, click on the start menu and
start typing the words "restore point". And click on the option that says "Create a restore
point" and the System Properties dialogue is gonna show up. Lets just take a quick look
at the number of restore points that we already have right now. You can do so by clicking
on the "System Restore..." button here and click on the "Next >" button here. And as
you can see here, I have about 4 restore points that I have already saved on my system. Lets
say, I just wanna delete one of them. Now, Windows 10 does not give me the ability to
delete a specific restore point. Windows 10 forces us to delete all the restore points.
So I am gonna show you how to delete all the restore points if you would like to delete
all of them at once.
Let me just hit the Cancel button here. And if you want to delete all the restore points
on the C drive, simply click on the C drive and then click on the Configure button here
and under the Disk Space Usage section here, look at the option that says Delete all restore
points for this drive. If you click on this Delete button here, its gonna show you a prompt
that says You will not be able to undo unwanted system changes on this drive. Are you sure
you want to continue? What this essentially says is, that if you hit the Continue button
here, its gonna delete all the restore points that you have saved for this C drive.
So if you want to delete all the restore points for the C drive, just simply hit the Continue
button and just wait for Windows to finish the process. Make a note that you will not
be able to recover any previous restore points that you may wish to retain and this process
is permanent and it will delete all the restore points for this drive. So be very careful
if you want to delete all the restore points. If you do not wish to delete all the restore
points, then I am gonna show you different ways of doing so. So hit the Cancel button
here and the hit the Cancel button again here and just hit Cancel one more time.
Now let me show you how to delete only selective restore points. Visit this website called
ccleaner.com. Now this is a free software that you can download to your device and you
will be able to delete specific restore points in Windows 10. So here are two versions of
the software, the CCleaner Pro version is a paid software, so i'm not suggesting this
to you right now.
So you can go ahead and click on the free download and download it for free. Although
it has some limited features, it will solve our purpose. So scroll down and click the
Download button. And here scroll down till you see the download button here again click
it. It will download the software and when Google Chrome shows the prompt, just hit the
Keep button over here and wait for it to finish the download process. So now the software
is downloaded and so double click to install it. I already have a previous version of CCleaner
installed on my device, so I am going to override on top of it. So just simply click on the
Install button here. Alright, so setup has completed and now just hit the run CCleaner
button here.
And now, this is the interesting part. So in the sidebar menu simply, click on the Tools
option and then click on this option that says System Restore here. Now you can see
that this list shows all the restore points that I have created so far for my device.
If you notice, the top restore point is disabled. That is because this is the latest Restore
point that I created on my device and Windows 10 will need this restore point, in order
to restore to your last saved restore point.
Now here you can select any specific restore point that you wish to delete or select multiple
restore points. In my case if I wanted to delete a specific restore point, then all
I am gonna do is click on that restore point and then click on the Remove button here.
In this case, I wanna remove two of these restore points, so hit the Shift key on the
keyboard and then click on the other restore point that you wish to delete. So in this
way you can select both of them. Or if you want to select specific restore points, you
can simply click on one of them and then Ctrl click on anything else. Alright?
So I am gonna select only the first and the second restore points by clicking on the control
key on the keyboard and clicking on this restore point and then with the Ctrl key depressed
on the keyboard, I am gonna hit the second restore point that I wish to delete as well.
Now I am gonna hit the Remove button here and its gonna ask me if I want to proceed
deleting these two restore points. I wish to proceed with this process. I am gonna hit
the Ok button here. And now the software has deleted only those two specific restore points.
So this is how you can use the free version of CCleaner to delete specific restore points
that you wish to delete. That's it for this video, thanks for watching.
