How can I delete all previous versions of all files and folders on my hard

Re: How to delete all previous versions of all files and folders?

Hello,

The previous versions of files are part of System Restore. To remove them:

- Click start
- Right-click computer
- Click properties
- Click System Protection in the left pane
- Uncheck the drive you want to remove previous versions for

This will also remove all system restore points on your computer.
