I need Help because Windows Restore Point is eating 20 gigabytes

Recently i RESTORED my windows 11 to a previous point, But i noticed i lost 20 GIGABYTES and i already deleted all restore points but still the 20 gigabytes is missing...

I know its stored in some folder to revert/undo the restauration point back to where it was previously.

HOW DO I DELETE IT TO GET BACK THE LOST 20 GIGABYTES?

THANKS.

    • Right-click on Disk Cleanup and select Run as administrator.
    • Select your system drive (usually C:).
    • Click Clean up system files.
    • Wait for the scan to complete.
    • Check System Restore and Shadow Copies (if available).
    • Click OK and confirm to delete these files.
