I have an 80 GB hard drive. I had about 20GB used on my hard drive when I
did a number of system restores. After doing the system restores, I have
less that 9 GB of free hard drive space. How can I reclaim the used hard
drive space that the system restores seem to be occupying?


You say you did a "number of system restores"? Do you mean you restored
multiple times, or that you created a number of Restore Points?

Assuming the latter, if you haven't changed the default allocation, it takes
15% of your hard drive, which is too much for almost everyone. Reduce it to
around 1-2GB.
