    how do I delete files from my backup disk ?


    After downloading the latest updates for Google Earth, I began getting a msg saying that "there is not enough disk space on your backup disk."
    When I attempted to clean it up, I was unable to free up any space.
    I have a LENOVO 570; the backup disk is labeled: Lenovo: D
    It says I have @ 10.6MB free out of 29GB
    Can I delete all the drivers and the applications from the D drive ?
    And then do a complete restore once the D drive is emptied ?
    Any other suggestions ?

    Post a screen shot of your Windows Disk Management so we can see what is going on.

    Do you knowingly install applications to D, rather than C?
