    That normally occurs because someone has turned on system protection for the partition. I can't see your image just yet. 
    Check to make sure that has not happened.
    The following image is how the system protection  window should look
    The following image is what you should see in your recovery partition if you have file options to show protected files. Anyhting else should not be there.

  • Low disk space on hp recovery partition. Help!

    Hello
    I have pasted some media files(.mp3, .avi)on hp recovery D partition in order to move them back to their original C partition after formatting the system. And now when I open partition D with hp recovery those media files do not longer exist. This partition now is almost full so the added are there but i dont have access to them. They have got integrated with hp recovery and there is system denial when i want to open hp recovery.
    So help me, how to get an access to those media files?

    To open this folder you have to write:
    "cd+space+folders name"
    "cd dot"
    "cd 2 dots"

  • Low disk space in recovery disk (d) drive in window 8.1

    I continue to receive the subject warning. I have never added any files to D, but I have 32.3 MB free of 25.5 GB. I have Administrator privilrges but am unable to view the files on D. When I click on recovery, I get an HP warning.

    Hi @pjd10 
    I grasp that you are a low disk space error on recovery D.  I regret that you are having that difficulty.
    Here is a link to HP PCs - Error: Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Recovery (Windows 8) that should guide you to resolving this issue.

  • Low Disk Space Recovery Drive D

    My computer is an hp G60 121WM, which is Vista Home Premium running windows Vista 32 bit OS.  I messed up while in 'backup and restore' and sent the backup to the partitioned drive (D) used for system recovery.  Is there any way to access this drive or remove the mess I sent there?  It won't let me in by the simple route of trying to open it from the 'computer' dialog.  I can't use backup and restore now, and every time I boot up the computer I get the message that I have low disk space in drive D.  It's not a real problem (so far), but is very irritating.  And if I ever do need to do a restore (back to a previous automated backup) I'll be unable to do that.  I'll appreciate any help from more seasoned users.  Thanks
    ps.  I don't quite understand why hp recovery drive being full impacts windows backup and restore, so the problem with that may be coincidental.  You tell me.  As you can see, I'm not well versed in computer use!

    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    When installed, launch Free Commander, click the D partition in the toolbar and look for any files that obviously don't belong here, cut them out and paste to a location of your choice on the C Partition.
    After doing this, make sure that Windows Backup and Restore is directed to a new location.

  • Low disk space on recovery disk (d) drive

    Okay, I am so tired of receiving Low Disk Space on recovery (D). I have done everything it asked. Empty Recycle Bin which is EMPTY. I am not a computer wizard but it seems unfair that I have pay over $150.00 year to correct this problem once a year. I have checked a lot of places and it just keeps telling me the same thing. That doesn't work. Can someone explain to me in English (plain) how to correct this problem.

  • I keep getting a (false) notification from HP Support Assistant: low disk space on C drive?

    Hi, this morning upon starting up my computer the magnifying glass was hovering over the HP Support Assistant icon and usually that means it is checking for updates etc... but I noticed it turned into a yellow exclamation mark so I clicked on it and opened up HP Support Assistant. The exclamation mark was now in the "updates and tune-ups" and said there were "recommended messages available." Upon clicking this the exclamation is now on the HP messages tab and upon clicking that I am taken to a notification that says: "Low Disk Space on Primary Drive C:" So I click on it to find out more information and it says that I am running out of free disk space on my C drive and that I need to perform a disk cleanup etc...
    I went to My Computer to see just how in jeopardy I was in of running out of space on my C drive. To my amazement it stated that I still had 1.27 TB of 1.35 TB available and have only used 6% of my space...
    I tried emptying my recycle bin, clearing my cache, doing an actual disk cleanup, and restarting to no avail, the magnifying glass comes back after restart and the notification returns telling me that I am low on disk space in the C drive...
    I have come to the conclusion that this must be a false notification but I have no idea how to get rid of it...it isn't a huge issue as it doesn't impair my usage on the computer, however, it is kind of annoying to keep seeing this notification...
    Is there any way to get rid of this notification?

    Hello @blackrosevain,

    Hi,
    Following some tinkering by me following some Microsoft support suggestions, I think I have managed to solve my issues with windows updates...It did involve an emergency restart and a system restore from an external hard drive, and I think all is running OK now...the trouble is, I now can't seem to make a new back up on the external hard drive as it comes up with an error code and the OS_(E tools reporting low disk space. The HP_(D recovery is also looking quite full (although not red yet like the (E tools. The OS is Windows Vista Home basic 32- bit.

  • Low Disk Space on Lenovo_Recovery (Q:) Partition

    Hello all. I have had a Thinkpad T410 for around a month now and I am loving it.
    Recently I have been getting a warning saying:
    Low Disk Space
    You are running out of disk space on Lenovo_Recovery {Q:}.
    Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.
    So, I click there to try and free space - there is nothing to delete to free space.
    If I go to Computer, it tells me that there is 7.37 MB free of 9.76 GB on the {Q:} partition. Upon double-clicking the {Q:} partition, only two things exist.
    TAYLOR-THINK (File Folder)
    MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
    Fair enough. I open up the TAYLOR-THINK file folder and see two more things.
    Backup Set 2010-06-21 015705 (File Folder)
    MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
    The Backup Set file folder contains 2.25 GB, which includes Backup Files from two different days.
    9.76 - 2.25 = 7.51 GB
    Something in the {Q:} recovery partition is using 7.51 GB of space but I don't know what?
    Help please!

    Please do and check the following;
    open R&R and select the option at the very bottom of the left column in the window, it should say something to the effect of "select advanced view" or something to that effect, sorry but I don't have a system a hand to look at. (Somrtimes the option is almmost half hidden - should be light blue text).
    It should then open a window offering more options than on the original screen. One of those options should be to set schedules and options for backups. Check here what the maximum number of backups is set to; if it's set to 3 change that entry to 4, apply and then click ok.
    After doing this please try running another backup and let us know what happens.

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Low Disk Space - Mini 110

    Recently the free space on my HD has suddenly disappeared but I haven't installed any new programs.  I have the 16GB solid state drive and originally had about 5GB of programs installed.  A couple of weeks ago I started getting low disk warnings but couldn't figure out why but deleted a few little used programs to free up space.  Went from 75mb free to 850mb then the next day I get the low disk warnings again, showing 160mb free. I lot almost 700mb overnight.
    Tried the Chat option and instead of fixing the problem had me change the Registry but instead of fixing anything only stopped the warning message.  Guess the logic is if you don't see a problem it isn't there.  Then he wanted me to delete Windows components.  I drew the line there, would free a few mb w/o fixing the problem,  After this suggestion I realized my Indian chap didn't have a clue.
    My firtst thought was a virus but I've done 3 full scans w/o finding anything.   Any ideas whats causing my hd free to disappear and possible solutions?

Users can then use Disk Management tool in Computer Management of Control Panel, or third party utilities such as Partition Magic or Acronis Director Suite (which in fact can be used to remove the recovery partition straight away) to extend the size of existing partition to make use of freed space. However, in the older PC Recovery, the whole disk will be formatted once recovery partition is removed. Thus, backup your data before performing the action above. And, an operating system and programs must be installed on the hard drive manually.
    Restart the computer when done.

  • Nagging "Low Disk Space" on Lenovo_Rec​overy Q:

    Hi,
    Just got my new T530. I loaded my application and data and everything works all right.
    However, several times a day I get a "low disk space" popop on the Recovery directory. When displaying the details from the popup there is only a cleanup options, but being the recovery directory there is nothing to cleanup.
    Any idea how I can stop the popup?
    Thanks

    A couple of ideas:
    1. You can stop Windows from "crying wolf" using this Registry hack: Disable Low Disk Space Notification Alert In Windows 7 / Vista. That's probably the easiest solution but it has the disadvantage that it disables the alert on all disks.
    2. Another approach might be to extend the size of the Q: partition using Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management. This could take a lot of time because you'll have to first shrink the C: partition that follows it to make room.

  • Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

    Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
    Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
    I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
    Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
    I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
    Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
    I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
    So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
    I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
    And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess.  So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

    The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.
