Why don't you reduce the amount of space reserved for system restore, i.e.
open an elevated command prompt by clicking the Windows Orb (Start) > All
Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as
Administrator’.
To display the current parameters type (or copy and paste) “vssadmin list
shadowstorage” (not the quotes but the spaces) and press Enter.
To reduce (or increase) the disk space allocated, type (or copy and paste)
“vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=c: /for=c: /maxsize=3GB” (not the quotes
but the spaces) and press Enter. This example assumes changing the space on
drive C to 3GB. You may find that all the restore points have been removed
after resizing so make sure the computer is behaving itself before reducing
the space allocation. Also, make a manual restore point immediately after
resizing.
You could also reduce the space allocated to the 'Bin', right-click, etc.
