# Can I turn restore points off?

Yes — the **On** switch at the top of the Restore Points window controls whether each batch of moves is recorded so you can roll it back. We recommend leaving it on: restore points cost almost no space and are what make **Roll Back Last Batch** possible.

Turning it off doesn't move or delete any of your files.
