I have read this is possible, as "old" restore points take up a bit of HDD
space. But where are they?

Run the Disk Cleanup utility and choose the More Options tab. Old System
Restore points and Shadow Copies can be deleted there.

Tks Dominic....went there as u kindly suggested. My only 'concern' is that
there doesn't seem to be a list to choose from, it seems to be simply that
all are deleted...is that right?

tks Richard and Dominic. As a matter of interest, IS it possible to see a
list of all restore points at all, and to choose those you want to remove?
