Another option is to use Disk Cleanup from the Accessories - System
Tools menu. Go to the More Options tab and click on the Cleanup
button in the System Restore (bottom) section. That will remove all
but the most recent System Restore point, and System Restore will
remain active, avoiding the need to reboot the computer and then turn
System Restore back on again.

Good luck
