Run a virus checker to eliminate Back Orifice if present.
Here's a discussion about _Restore
http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y34652C71
Here's a free piece of software to do the job:
Here's how to do it by hand:
1. Right click My Computer >Properties > Performance >File System>Troubleshooting
2. Check the box to "Disable System Restore"
3. Reboot immediately
4. Repeat step #1 but this time remove the check mark thus re-enabling System Restore5. Reboot immediately
6. All former checkpoints and archive cab files (infected or otherwise) are deleted and a single new System Restore checkpoint was created during step #5
7. Last step - right click My Computer >Properties >Performance > File System and set the slider for the max amount of disk space you want System Restore to use. Most folks find 200-300M plenty. Every time you "flush" System Restore the disk space setting gets re-set to maximum by default

BY THE INFO IN YOUR QUESTION, NOTE THAT SYSTEM AND
OTHER FILES ARE NOT DIRECTLY EFFECTED! The removal
of any large body of stored files SHOULD ALSO have
a defragmentation of the hard drive afterwards. It
doesn't make a difference whether or not a prompt,
or an explorer window, was used in deleting files.
Unless there was a significant value in the files,
a basic maintainence is usually following any type
of removal of large volumes of data from a drive.
