    Recovery Partition Full in Windows 7. Need help


    I recently reloaded an old version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My original version (same disk) had issues with updates. When I reloaded the installation disk, I found that I had 2 versions on boot up.

    THe original version is running extremely slow........full of many problems

    THe new version has a 250 MB partition of the Recovery partition......and is practically full. I constantly need to clean out files.

    What is the best way to change this so i can use the newer version and subsequently get updates on this on line?

    Turn off System Restore for the Recovery partition. See here: Turn System Restore on or off - Windows Help

    See the section To turn off System Protection for a particular disk
