Product: HP Notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Checked the recovery drive on my HP Notebook laptop Windows 10-64 bit.  Discovered it was nearly full; only 1.5GB free space left.  How do I delete what's on there?  If it gets completely full, will it impact my laptop system in any way?  If I can delete it, how do I go about that without it affecting all my files?  I hope someone can help me with this as I am not very tech savvy.  Thank you.

Yes, that is the way it is designed for. Please DO NOT write anything to it. I should stay like that for the rest of its life on your computer.
