If you are referring to the System Restore feature in Windows ME/XP then this is how you can do it:

The easiest would be to simply disable System Restore, reboot, and then enable it again. This should remove the files.

Or you could do this manually:

1) Use a boot disk and boot to DOS.

2) Go to C:\System_Restore (I think this is the location)

3) Simply delete all the files in there. You don't want to leave any since all the files are dependent on each other, and deleting just some will leave a corrupted Restore set.

To do it automatically, go to the Control Panel. (Click on Start> Settings> Control Panel). Then navigate to System. When the window appears click on System Restore. Pick a drive and click Settings. Then simply navigate the amount of space to use to the minimum. Or of course you can turn of System Restore then reboot, then turn it back on, this should also remove the files.

System Restore option in Windows Me/XP Users of Windows Me and Windows XP should temporarily turn off System Restore. Windows Me/XP uses this feature, which is enabled by default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged. If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer. Windows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has the potential of restoring an infected file onto your computer, even after you have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations. Also, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even though you have removed the threat. Hope this information helps anyone looking for this fix.
