Windows Vista recovery D is full

I have checked FAO but without success. A message popped up on the bar at the bottom....saying my recovery disc is full, It is a complete red bar. I have tried to understand the "recovery" and "restore points" but am struggling with it all. Is this a separte disc from C? What should I do to the recovery D... delete all and start a new system restore point? I have 210 GB free on C. I have 6.37MB of 9.99GB free on "Recovery D" . Windows Vista
Please help if you can.

Welcome aboard sparkysparky.

The "Recovery" is generally the recovery partition where PC manufacturers dump Windows recovery/installation files in case something goes wrong with your system & you have to reinstall Windows.

Something is writing to this partition, which is strange, as this partition is not normally used.

It would also help if you can fill your system specs.

 

Yes, if you want specific help with this, you will need to give us the system details (fill in the information in Admin's link).

On one or two HP computers, I have noticed that the Recovery Partition is for "backing up ". Yes, it will eventually fill up. In this case, you would need to read through the HP information for how to rectify it.
