Moderators Nergal Posted January 11, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2017 Enable the last? You can't. Ccleaner won't remove the last point. Why are your points disappearing after 24 hours, are you wiping freespace in ccleaner everyday? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Piedro Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 If Ccleaner removes the restore points, how can you ensure that Ccleaner no longer removes the restore points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 11, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2017 Other in the specific tool you found, Ccleaner, as I stated, should only be removing SRP if you're wiping freespace. Wiping freespace fills the drive, when a drive is filled windows deletes points to make more room. So if points are being removed without your express permission (by using the tool) I'd say uncheck wipe freespace in the advanced section, on the first (windows) tab ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Piedro Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 uncheck wipe freespace in the advanced section. That was not checked! Read on a forum that Ccleaner may be the culprit.I have the idea that somewhere in W7 something fishy whereby after 24 hoursthe created restore points disappear. The system belongs to create a restorepoint on a regular basis! Never seen it. Maybe Microsoft has a answer.Thanks for your advices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 - Perhaps you've allocated too little diskspace for those System Restore Points (SRP). Then Windows will run out of diskspace very soon and starts to delete those SRPs. Or Windows won't create any SRPs at all. Then you need to allocate (much) more diskspace for SRPs. - Or the amount of free diskspace is too low or went under a critical limit. That will force Windows to remove all those SRPs as well. - Perhaps you need to select a different option for those SRPs ?

Moderators nukecad Posted January 12, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think that Willy2 has probably hit on your answer, you don't have enough disc space allocated for SRPs. You can set the amount of disc space used for restore points in:Control Panel, System, System Protection tab, Configure button. It tells you there- "As space fills up, older restore points will be deleted to make room for new ones." So if you don't allocate enough space then when a new SRP is created Windows will delete the old(est) ones. Give it more space and it will keep (more of) the old ones. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

papabear00 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Sometimes, ALL of my System Restore Points are deleted by CCLEANER. I have plenty of Disk Space. My current procedure is to check for Restore Points after cleaning and then create one if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
