Restore points are deleted by Windows regularly when the allocated space is full. I know the restore points are gone for good but I hope this will not happen again. BTW when I unchecked the box it went away and the interface on my Win10 machine looks the same as the Win7 computer.Īm I safe now? Shouldn't people be warned of this? Wiping free space would take too long anyway as I understand it. Honestly I do not know how it happened unless this is some sort of default setting I was not aware of. If I uncheck the box next to wipe free space, I can run Ccleaner and my restore points will not be erased.
I want to be clear and do the right thing. It must have been checked by default and I am sick about it. I see it is checked now on my Win 10 computer which is a fresh install on a new machine. Also there is no box next to wipe free space on Ccleaner on my Win 7 computer.
First of all in my panic I just saw restore points missing when I tested my Win7 computer and forgot to check show more points box.
