    “To erase all the restore points that were created for that drive, use the Delete button.”

    Rather than deleting all restore points, I recommend running Disk cleanup and selecting “More Options”. This allows you to remove all but the most current restore point. Even with a backup, I don’t want to be without a good restore point. Windows 7 has a much more robust System Restore than Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    This explanation is clear.
    What is NOT clear is why, when I have turned off System Restore on all drives, it still insists on having a System Volume Information folder on each drive. Even after reading some articles on this, I’m still in a fog. Oh well, one of life’s little mysteries.

      Turn it off if you have another automated alternative in place such as Norton Ghost, for example.
      Otherwise… keep it ON, at least for the system drive.
