I am constantly getting the alert that my recovery drive is full (low disk space warnings) and this is a brand new laptop. I'm unsure if it is an internal problem or if I need to redirect where something is saved in my computer. I have terabytes of space on both my internal and external hard drives, so I have no clue as to why my recovery drive (D:) is maxed out. If anyone knows how to troubleshoot this issue I would be very grateful for any and all help!

Hi
First MAKE RECOVERY MEDIA...
16 GB USB stick should suffice.
Then consider hiding the 😧 as it is usually Microsoft Updates that fill it up.

If in doubt please ask.
