Automated System Recovery (ASR) creates backup files on your hard drive to aid in the recovery of your personal data in a system crash. ASR runs on a fixed schedule and creates a new backup file whenever it runs. Older backup files are not deleted or updated when ASR creates a new backup.

Highlight “System Tools” and select on “Disk Cleanup” from the sub-menu. Select the “C:\” drive from the list of available drives. Click “OK.” The Disk Cleanup utility will perform calculations and present you with the “Disk Cleanup” window. Select the “More Options” tab in the “Disk Cleanup” window. Click on the “Clean Up” button under the “System Restore” listing. A warning dialog will appear. Click “Yes” on the warning dialog. Click “OK” in the “Disk Cleanup” window to remove the old backup files from your computer hard dr
