Hello,
I need to free up some space in my recovery drive (D: ). Every time I run a scan it fails because I don't have near the space needed on this drive. The drive capacity is about 9 MB, and I only have 8% of that free. The scans keep telling me to free up some space.
Is this D: drive slowing down my computer?
When I click on the icons in the D: drive that have the most space (4GB, 2GB), I get a message saying:
*Does this mean that I won't be able to restore my computer to factory settings, even with my recovery DVDs? Or does it just mean that I won't be able to perform a backup the next time I want to?
If I can't delete any files off my D: drive, how can I free up space on that drive?
I'm tempted just to delete the files...but am unsure, and I thought I would post a message about it first.
Thanks,
Brad
