You can disable the restore feature.. (this will purge the folder)
Try this....
1. Close all open programs.
2. Right-click My Computer on the Windows desktop, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Performance tab.
4. Click File System.
5. Click the Troubleshooting tab.
6. Check Disable System Restore, click OK, and then click Close.
7. Click Yes to restart. This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents of the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted.
You can then enable the retore feature and make a manual restore point if one is not made for you...
Repeat steps 1 through 7, except in step 6, uncheck Disable System Restore to enable it..
The only thing to check is how often are you creating a restore point.. the more restore points you create the bigger the file will be... (And we all know.. bigger is not always better :O)
