Hard drive space is shrinking after Windows updates

Everytime Windows updates, I lose hard drive space. One day it was 50gigs, the next update a few minutes ago I lost 10 gigs. Anybody having this problem.
Any suggestions?

Hello MDL27, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It may be the amount of MAX System Restore points storage space allowed. The tutorial below will help show you how to check and adjust the space amount if needed.

System Restore - disk space

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You're welcome MDL27. You might also run Disk Cleanup to see what junk files it may be able to clean off your hard drive as well.
