Recently I had cause to restore my computer to a previous time- the reason does not matter here- I successfully restored it and found I had dropped over 1.mb of space- I redid it and again I had dropped an equal amount -and a third time this happened-- when I came to clean up the shambles- I find I cannot regain that space- I have cleaned up the registry and temp files- but where did that space go to and how can I get it back.
To complicate things further if I downloaded a new program - sometimes all that space is returned- why?

thank you as usual - O K I follow that - one point which may be of interest - after 3 attempts at the "restore mode"-before I read your answer, I deleted the past (not sure how far back ? ) in restorable histories so I assume I will not be able to go back far for a day or two- not that worries me now as I am back and operating - with one problem still to resolve- I won't bother you with that just now- but I regained 200 mb of space- I assume the history was listing the history of the history, and so on, ad infintum- either way I am well ahead in space available -of even what I started with
