moved to the Recycle Bin, it still uses valuable space on the hard

Lesson 13: Using System Restore
The System Restore feature allows you to return your
computer to the way it was configured on a specific date or
time, a “restore point.” This is useful if you are reconfiguring
your computer for new hardware or software. In the event that
your hardware or software causes your computer to
malfunction, you can remove the offending item(s) and
restore the system to the state it was in at the preset time.
To get to System Restore, click Start, click All Programs,
point to Accessories and System Tool, and click System
Restore.
The System Restore Welcome screen appears.
