you can disable it. Go to system properties. Then performance. Go to the troubleshooting tab. And check the last box that says Disable System Restore.

Hey, it works

You can and should disable the restore function in WinMe as teryan2006 describes. You get a big performance boost by doing so. You can also delete the _Restore directory but not from the GUI. You have to use the recovery disk to boot into DOS mode without CDROM support and delete the files from the command line. I created a little batch file named "rest.bat" with the following code:

attrib -h -s -r c:\_restore
attrib -h -s -r d:\_restore
attrib -h -s -r e:\_restore
attrib -h -s -r f:\_restore
attrib -h -s -r c:\_restore\dsinfo.dat
del c:\_restore\*.*
del d:\_restore\*.*
del e:\_restore\*.*
del f:\_restore\*.*
del c:\_restore\archive\*.*
del c:\_restore\extract\*.*
del c:\_restore\logs\*.*
del c:\_restore\sfp\*.*
del c:\_restore\temp\*.*
rd c:\_restore\archive
rd c:\_restore\extract
rd c:\_restore\logs
rd c:\_restore\sfp
rd c:\_restore\temp
rd c:\_restore
rd d:\_restore
rd e:\_restore
rd f:\_restore

I obviously have my HD partitioned into C, D, E, and F. This will allow you to recover a fairly large amount of disk space.
