I am  running Windows Vista on an E Machines.  I need to clean disk D as I have a lot of systems restore on it .  I have 2.07 GB free out of 8,36 GB on disk D.  When I go to all programs and get "disk clean up" and "drive selection D" I click on "OK".  This brings up a panel which has "more options" which I click on.  A panel comes up which tells me I can delete all but the last restore point.  I click on "clean up" but nothing HAPPENS.  It does not clean disk D.  Can anybody offer suggestions?  ThanksIf they the space is used by system restore you could always shut it off and reboot and than turn it back on. That should flush out all the old restores.

I am a senior who doesn't know much about computers.  How do  I turn off the system restore.  I know how to reboot but after that how do I turn on the system restore?  ThanksTry to look this over....

It isn't very hard to do. I would also suggest USING less of your hard drive to do the system restore. To change that you will see a slide bar below the system restore check box.

Get hold of Ccleaner and Defraggler

Spoiler:
     I am running Vista and your suggestions were for Windows XP.  I was afraid to try your suggestions because I was afraid I would mess something up.  E Machines gave me a program which cleaned disk D.  It did not get rid of all the system restart but it did get me a lot of free space in disk D which is what I wanted,  Thanks
