Old XP System Restore Points in Vista

by anthony_jane_wk . Updated 18 years, 7 months ago

I have upgraded from XP Home to Vista Ultimate. I now have old XP Home system restore files (about 11GB on a 40GB disc) that I cannot remove. Any help would be appreciated.

1. I have permission to view the files
2. I have run the cacls commands as posted all over the net
3. I have turned off system restore in vista and then turned it back on again
4. I have tried just deleting the files
5. I have tried the “Disk Clean Up” remove old restore points. Vista doesnt seem to recognise the old restore points.

TIA

AJ
