    I have both a samsung r580 notebook and a samsung n145 netbook.

    I want to get back some disk space by deleting some back up restore points.

    Is there a way to pick and choose which restore points I delete?

    If I delete all the restore points, will the samsung recovery solution still be able to bring my laptop back to the way it was when I first got the laptop/netbook?

    I'm realizing those restore points are taking up a lot of memory and I need some back.

    Thanks.

    First use the cleanup tool at Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. Then run CCleaner which can do deeper cleaning. One of its options under the tools menu is to delete selected restore points.
