Recovery Disk (D:)

[arsenal]

My Recovery Disk partition is 95% full. I have tried to free up disk space using "Disk Cleanup" but I only get this result: " You can use Disk Cleanup to free up to 0 bytes of disk space on Recovery (D:). Any idea how to free up disk space on Recovery? I'm using Window Vista.

Recovery partition is a set size and number of files by default, and should not change unless you accidentally save files there.HP sets it up at a minimum size required to hold only your Recovery files.For instance on my HP laptop the Recovery partition is 9.85 gb and has 1.95 gb free.On my desktp pc it is around 11 gb with around 2 gb free(I think).

If you have saved files there move them to your C drive.You might also check System Restore to be sure it is not monitoring D:.Right click 'Computer' icon,choose Properties.In the window that opens,look for System Protection in the left sidebar.After selecting it,give it a minute to scan and load.If 😧 is checked ,uncheck it.

I have the same problem.  I like Cheryl's solution, it seems well thought out, but I cannot get it to work for me: re the two choices, my 😧 drive is not a restore point, and 😧 does not display any files in order to confirm if any should  be moved to C: (only says, "warning, recovery partition, do not delete files); what can I do to solve the problem?

Recovery  partition is 95% full by design_this is not an error or problem.
