Do you know what a system restore is? System Restore is one of the default Windows features or tools that allows users to restore Windows system to its previous state. This means that when you make changes to your Windows system and you encounter problems or errors, you can restore your windows to yesterday's state or to the previous date (before making any changes).
For some people, this system restore is definitely very important. But the existence of this System Restore will take up a lot of your hard drive space. The size can be gigantic. And for those who have started to have a full hard drive, of course, this System Restore will be a bit boring because it takes up a lot of hard drive space. Even System Restore on my laptop had once fetched 20GB, and sure enough it wasn't a small size. If it is used to save photos, it can be used to store thousands of photos.
