Removing PC Restore

NOTICE: PC Restore enables you to restore your computer’s operating system to the condition it was in when you purchased your computer. It is recommended that you do not remove PC Restore from your computer, even to gain additional hard drive space. If you remove PC Restore from the hard drive, you cannot ever recall it, and you will never be able to use PC Restore to return your computer’s operating system to its original state.
