Is there a way to remove system restore points?

I wanted to ask this question and discuss this topic, but
I was unable to connect to the chat. I think the network
folks blocked the port recently.

Is there a way to remove system restore points?

Is there a way to completely disable system restore points?

I don't have any system restore components included, but
some utilities still create restore points in the System
Volume Information directory.

In particular, if you disable the pagefile using the UI, a
restore point is created that is the size of the pagefile.
You can't delete it. You can't easily see it in the file
system, but the disk space is used.

Regards.

Mark,

Is this a general XP question, because it does not seem to be
Embedded-specific? Is this something that you can do with XP, but not
Embedded?
