By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to back up your system files:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Double-click on System.
- Click the System Restore tab.
- Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives".
- Hit Apply.
- You may now delete the System Volume Information folder.

Its always good to have 1 backup in your system restore folder JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT!! Just blindly disabling this option may prove to be VERY BAD.......Rather set it to only save 1 restore point (And every day it backs up the prev day and deletes the last one)
