| Low disk space on drive d Okay - Ive read some that the recovery drive is storing original files/folders/programs that were on my computer when I first received it. But I am getting the low space statement. 1. How did it get bigger? 2. In my drive D folder I have three things: One is the locked recovery folder that I can not access One is called "basement2" which is the name of my computer on my network - it seems to contain many backup folders from different times, but hardly any data in them - should it be there? And thee is a file called mediabin Can I delete anything? Thanks |

| Re: Low disk space on drive d Hi "Ed43", [color=blue] > Okay - Ive read some that the recovery drive is storing original > files/folders/programs that were on my computer when I first received it.[/color] This is by design of the system manufacturer. If you check your system documentation you will likely find a procedure for accessing it at boot to enable a recovery to factory state. [color=blue] > But I am getting the low space statement.[/color] Normally, this volume has very little space left available on it. This is normal. [color=blue] > 1. How did it get bigger?[/color] It didn't, something just triggered the messages. Perhaps you have System Restore monitoring it, or tried defragging it. [color=blue] > 2.

[color=blue] > And thee is a file called mediabin[/color] Normal. [color=blue] > Can I delete anything?[/color] Not without knowing what it is first. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP [url]http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/[/url] Windows help - [url]www.rickrogers.org[/url] My thoughts [url]http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com[/url] |
