Low Disk Space Warning?
I am using a Vista Ultimate system on a Dell XPS 420 computer with a Terabyte
hard drive. I keep getting this message flag from my Taskbar --- " Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on RECOVERY (D. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unneccesary files click here." I click on user files but there's no space available to delete. The user files shown (Office setup files and Recycle bin) have 0 bytes available. What gives and do I need to do something? Or, do I just ignore this repeated warning? It is a litttle aggravating! I have one other selection available, which I haven't tried, when I click on this flag which is to clean up all users files. Should I try this option? Thanks for any input provided. Ray19 |

Ray19 Ray, the RECOVERY (D is simply a partitiion that contains the file necessary for you to create recovery DVDs (3) or CDs (16). You should be placing nothing in that "disk." If you haven't created the recovery disks, I suggest that you do so soon. If you have to order them from Dell, I believe the price is around $30 and it takes a couple of weeks. These disks used to be provided in the box on shipment. Just hope that you haven't corrupted the file. |
