@Babu, I would suggest you cleanup up System Restore Points with the method in my answer rather than try forcing them out. I think, if required, you can also turn of system restore completely (would suggest against that, though).

Thanks for the advice! However, the purpose of this was to get rid of several gigs of files that I had deleted a year ago that was lingering in the directory. I'm not even sure if it disabled the restore points, but I suspect it might have.

The recycle bin is automatically emptied by Windows once it reaches its maximum size. Why not let Windows take care of emptying it and enjoy the free second chance it gives you.

It's the tradeoff between getting the space I need NOW, unsafely, and getting the space I need whenever vista feels like giving it back to me (never, or close enough to never in my experience). Like I've implied, it's not always a good idea, merely an available method.
