If so how? It is not wise, because you might have a problem with your computer & if you delete all of them then you cant go back :)& if you only have 6 six restore points that is not much. Are you running low on Hdd space???	stu140103 (137)

If you are happy your PC is 100% , then turn the restore off, restart, and turn the restore back on and make a restore point. By turning off restore, it deletes ALL points.	Pheonix (280)

You can leave one restore point, and clean out the rest by the following: click start, all programs, accessories, system tools, and disc cleanup. wait for it to load, then click the 'More options' tab. At the bottom under the 'system restore' heading, click the cleanup button. cheers, Robby	Robby (3123)
