I see that Noel has already answered your question but perhaps I can
explain why you cannot see the contents of the _RESTORE folder in Windows
Explorer. You mention that you have gone into Explorer's Tools | Folder
Options | View and checked the box to "Show hidden files and folders" but
you also need to UNcheck the box "Hide Protected operating system files".

I have just had a warning message that I am out of disk space
(Laptop, HP Armada 1750, 4GB) on checking I find that in my _RESTORE
folder is one labelled TEMP which is 1.5GB. I can only see it using
the TREE utility, not with Windows Explorer even though I have
checked the hidden files option.

How do I recover this space ?
