Hi

One of my HDDs is nearing capacity and WE is showing that drive's indicator bar in red.

I would like to change it to blue... is there a way to do this?

I tried this method:

addictivetips.com

But it did not work.

I also tried this method:

How to remove the hard drive's red bar alert in Windows 10 & Windows 11? spoonconcept

But it did not work. Yes, it's for 10, but I figured it might work in 7. What it does, is hides ALL of the indicator bars, which is not what i am looking to do.

Any way to do this? I do not need help with clearing space on the drive, btw.

Thanks in advance.

IE - what else is there?
The red color is only an indication that your drive is nearly full. My data drive is also red. It doesn't change the way it works.

Try to clean the drive to free some space and do a de fragmentation.
