this is how much system restore is taking.




I need to know how i can reclaim the 9GB space from my drive C:

Size of "C:/system volume information" file size jumping to +9Gb for no reasons on an SSD drive

In your subject line you said this:

Size of "C:/system volume information" file size jumping to +9Gb for no reasons on an SSD drive

This statement is incorrect. The TreeSize picture you posted says that this folder consumes 4.3 MBytes. This is 2,000 times less than what you think.

Here are the folders that consume the most disk space:

• 10.3 GBytes - Program files
• 24.2 GBytes - Windows
• 6.5 GBytes - Users

This is very reasonable and represents no cause for concern.

 

How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

Windows 10 64-bit.
When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

Disk Cleanup through (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

Any suggestions highly welcome.

 

How to restore C: drive from backup?

Thank you. I'll try your suggestion if my next attempt fails. I think my problem has been that I have been using a disk/partition backup instead of a system backup file.

- - - Updated - - -

Tried to recover from last System Backup file but it failed, too. Although it took a long time (from NAS backup), the recovery successfully completed. But the used size of the C: disk was very low and no OS was there. I have been using a USB that contains the Windows Installation Media, and when I boot from it, I select the UEFI version in the BIOS boot menu.

Here's latest attempt info:
Using Command Prompt, I cleaned Disk 0 (C: Drive), where the OS should be, and converted it to GPT.
Reinstalled W10 using USB that contains Windows Installation Media. I selected the UEFI version of the USB in the BIOS boot menu.
After Reinstall, DiskPart, (List Disk, Disk 0 is GPT), (List Volume, Volume 3 is Boot), (Select Volume 3, List Partition, 1=Recovery, 2=System, 3=Reserved, 4=primary)
Rebooted from EaseUS Emergency disk, using the UEFI version of the DVD in the boot menu.
Restored Disk 0 (C: ) from EaseUS partition backup of C:
After restore completed successfully, system rebooted itself.
Error – No operating system found.
Rebooted from USB Windows Media. Went to Repair mode, Troubleshoot, Command Prompt
DiskPart, (List Disk, Disk 0 is GPT), (Select Disk 0, List Partition, Only 1 partition, Primary)

What am I missing? After the EaseUS restore, only 1 partition was created on Disk 0. The C: drive appears to have all of the files.

Thanks for your help.
