How To Manage Hard Drive Space Used by Windows 7 Backup and Restore? Windows 7 offers a much better utility for backing up your computer than previous versions of Windows, but sometimes it might take up too much disk space. Here we show how to get some space back by deleting older backups. Just follow us...



1. First click on Start and write backup and restore in the search box and press Enter.







2. Then under the Backup section click on Manage Space.







3. In the Manage Windows Backup disk space screen click on View Backups under the Data file backup section.







4. A list of backups for different time periods will show up. You can delete older ones and just keep the most current backup. This will free up a lot of space if you have several backups periods stored.







5. You will get a message making sure you want to delete the backup. If you delete the most recent backup, there is an option to Delete, Delete and run backup now. So everything is current. You press Cancel.







6. Now that we’ve been able to free up some space, let’s take a look at how to keep only the most recent system image stored. Go back to the Manage Windows Backup disk space window we were at previously and this time click on Change settings which is under the System image section.







7. Now select Keep only the latest system image and minimize space used by backup then click Ok.







Here you have to make note that backing of the data is very much vital as it contains lot of information data.
