There are seventeen gigs on my recovery disk it started out with 2.5 and every month or so more is added how do i erase, that or stop them from placing updates' I don't want on it, or have any control whatsoever except to delete it what gives here is this how the CIA watches us? And why isn't other people talking about this i found no help on Google!
If something is writing to your Recovery drive then the most likely culprit is Windows Backup.
Type Backup in Startbutton Search Box, click on Backup and Restore. Turn off Windows Backup.
If this is the Recovery partition chances are it will no longer run any longer. If you'll post back a screenshot of the contents of the partition, using the Snipping Tool in Start Menu, we can help you clean it out so it will run if needed.

If its a partition intended for backup then you might want to save the backup, periodically run it manually, or change the settings so it backs up less often.
Nothing should be doing anything to your pc without your knowledge.
Post a shot of disk management.

just says D recovery and i cannot view the files or see anything inside and I am afraid to change the permissions also though it has a something on it called dial up? I was able to view that from the properties but not view solid files just like the partition D for the control of it I am a little green on this stuff
thanks for the reply
That's likely the Recovery partition which is booted to restore your PC to factory condition. I told you how to view the files so we can help you delete the ones which are not supposed to be there.
I am brave enough to let you do a remote control if you want to attempt to see wtf is going on? I will screw up a screen shot sounds to complicated!If something is writing to your Recovery drive then the most likely culprit is Windows Backup.
Type Backup in Start

A screenshot is very easy in w7 with the Snipping tool. Drag the rectangle around what you need to capture the in Files/Save As, give it a name and pick Desktop as the save location. It won't mess up anything.
Here's how to do a proper Disk Management snip. Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image
Did you check if Windows Backup is turned on and writing to the Recovery partition? I asked you about that a day ago and you have still not responded.
I gave you very easy steps to check this if you'd even try. Why would you ask for help and then just ignore steps which I type out for you?
Please report back on the steps we give you or ask more questions to learn how to complete them. Don't just ignore them.
