After disabling system restore on all drives, is there any else I can do to free even more disk space?

Turning off system restore and rebooting the computer will remove all of the restore points from your drive. You can run Disk Cleanup to free additional space or run CCleaner which in my opinion does a better cleanup the Disk Cleanup.
