    System Restore might be creating restore points everytime you uninstall a program. If you haven't already reached your maximum allowed system restore space, try lowering the amount it can use. Also try running disk cleanup to clean out temporary files. The option to remove all but the most recent restore point will be there as well

    I was emptying the recycle bin. The problem was the restore point. Thanks!
