HP Envy?
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So um...my 😧 drive is almost full, which I guess is normal? But...I have a computer game that comes on a disk that for some reason or another uses the 😧 drive. It recently keeps crashing so I had it analyze my computer. It said I failed the 😧 drive test and that it didn't have enough space. I have no idea why it uses the 😧 drive, but I didn't have this problem before. Is this a result of updating to Windows 10? It played on Windows 8 just fine...How do I go about fixing this?

😧 drive is your Recovery partition and NORMALLY please do not touch to it. Now is a little bit late, you should create Recovery media BEFORE upgradind to Windows 10. But please try the following way to create USB drive (Recovery media):

 

         https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17422/windows-8-create-usb-recovery-drive

 

at the end, you can delete 😧 and give room for other application/program.
