The system restore option is only put on that folder that contains the items that you want when restoring in a problem. If you want to reduce the amount of space by using System restore –disk space. Vista allocates 15% as by default of the selected hard drive to store after installation. You can undo the change in the system restore. First go to start then all programs then select accessories. Then click on system tools and then select system restore. If you are prompted by an administration password the definitely it will ask that. Then click on undo system restore then click on next. At last have a review and select the finish tab.

See if your D drive memory is full you can do the disk clean up instead. It will be a great help for you to reduce some space in the selected drive. For disk clean up go to all programs then accessories then select the system tool folder. There you will find disk clean up. You can choose whether you want the disk clean in your account or all user account. Then select which drive you want to run the clean up. Then start the clean up. It will take some time. Check the items you wanted to delete. In the end just click on OK.
