cleaning up a recovery disk

[aspiringpastrychef]

I use an HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC. My OS is Windows Vista (yeah, yeah, but I haven't had any major problems with it yet.) When I first began loading the software I need onto my computer I accidentally loaded Microsoft Works onto my Recovery disk (D) instead of my Hard Drive (C). Shortly afterwards I realized what I had done and attempted to remove the software. I was unable to access the recovery disk, and had to reload Works onto my hard drive. How can I finally remove the extraneous copy of Works from the recovery disk (D)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Surprised that you could write to the Recovery Partition; nonetheless, I doubt that extraneous files sitting there will prevent a recovery when needed, i.e., why not leave it alone?

Puzzled by the "I was unable to access the recovery disk," remark, though; how did you install Works there?

i agree, it didnt over write files so it should be ok.  I'm more surprised that there was enough free space on your Recovery Partition for the install of Works.
