Welcome to SF!
Try removing the drive letter for the recovery partition. Type diskmgmt.msc into the start menu, right-click on the recovery partition, and select Change Paths and Drive letters (or whatever it is :)).
Good luck!
Open the recovery partition, make a snip and post it here. Then we can see what's on it and give you advice. From a reinstallation alone it should not have filled up.
it wont let me save the screenshot so i cannot put it up
