Hello,
From a few weeks ago I have been getting a warning in my taskbar telling me my Recovery Drive is too full. Not sure how this happened or how to solve this problem.
2 images below. First picture shows the Recovery Drive with warning red bar and showing only 31MB out of 7.8GB is free. Second picture shows contents of Drive (nothing in there adds up to 7GB by the way).
Help appreciated. Thanks
Hello JSN, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might double check to make sure that System Protection is turned off for the D: drive. Turning it off will remove any saved restore points on that drive to see if that may be it.
Hope this helps for now, :)

Lets see if the System restore is enabled on the D drive .
Right mouse click on Computer either on the Desktop or inside the Start Menu and select properties. Then click on System Protection
If the D drive has Enabled . Click on the D drive click on Configure then choose Turn off system protection and click Apply. Click on the Yes button that you're sure you want to turn off System Protection to that drive.
Restart the PC
My apologizes looks like Brink and I submitted at the same time.
Good catch Keith.
No it shouldn't. Moving the page file back to C: will free up the space it's currently using.
Virtual Memory Paging File - Change
Having had some Compaqs, the recovery partition is only to restore the machine to out of the box (OOBE) condition.
If you right click the files in the red box, then properties of each, I suspect you will find several gigabytes of data.
You have sharp eyes Keith. Maybe recovery for Vista.
I suspect then the whole of D:\ can be deleted and C:\ expanded then.
