Title: Recovery (D:) full
Post by: garygrey on November 12, 2010, 09:03:42 AM

The recovery (D:) file has only 13.9MB of 10.2GB free.  How do I clear it?  Also, how do I prevent it ?

No idea what your question is.

That is probably your system recovery partition.
It is used to return your computer to its original "out of the box" state.

Unless you really know what you are doing, you should leave it alone.

Here is an article about recovery discs and partitions.  [Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_disc)]
