| | Post a screen shot of that Disk Management. That partition is likely used to restore your PC to its factory state. I wouldn't expect it to change in size and become "red" unless you are somehow saving stuff to it. |

| | Rather than trying to borrow space from C, I would want to know why the image partition has grown. That's not normal. What appears to be on it? |
