HD filling up.

Recently noticed that my C-drive was getting fuller and fuller and I couldn't work out why.
Eventually I discovered that with every instance of patching/updating Elite Dangerous, the installation of 'Microsoft C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86) - 11.0.6103' triggered the creation of a new restore point. For some reason my system was configured such that 50% of the drive was available for restore point storage, so with all the Elite upgrades/patches over the last month or so my drive had rapidly filled.
I have now configured things so that only 15% of my C-drive is available for restore point storage.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention this in case anyone else was noticing their HDs filling up!

I'd heard that, and so the log files was the first thing I checked, but nothing in any of the Frontier/Elite folders was getting ludicrously big.
The culprit for me was definitely the patching of Elite creating new restore points each time (coupled with my settings which would foolishly let this happen up to 50% capacity)

You heard right, but that was in August - Beta 1. Good times. 5mil. Anacondas everywhere... >.<

Anyway, thanks, OP, that is an interesting observation.
