    Unable to restore Win 10 after program delete


    I am a senior and a non-techie. As such, I think I've really put my foot in it this time! After reading a LifeHacker article, I wanted to try the Everything Toolbar on my PC. It installed without problems. I then decided to delete the program zip file which I did. Then I attempted to delete the unzipped folder and could not as it was flagged as open in another program. I tried to find the conflicting folder in vain, so I did a "force delete" with Unlock It. The folder was deleted and I did a reboot as instructed. Now I cannot create a restore point, not can I restore from an earlier restore point. I get the Windows error msg. referencing error code # 0x81000203. I have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help.

    Windows 10 v 10.0.19041

    :)

    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 (CUnable to restore Win 10 after program delete :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CUnable to restore Win 10 after program delete :)
    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.

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.
