| | Low Disk Space Warning? I am using a Vista Ultimate system on a Dell XPS 420 computer with a Terabyte hard drive. I keep getting this message flag from my Taskbar --- " Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on RECOVERY (D  . To free space on thisdrive by deleting old or unneccesary files click here." I click on user files but there's no space available to delete. The user files shown (Office setup files and Recycle bin) have 0 bytes available. What gives and do I need to do something? Or, do I just ignore this repeated warning? It is a litttle aggravating! I have one other selection available, which I haven't tried, when I click on this flag which is to clean up all users files. Should I try this option? Thanks for any input provided. Ray19 |

You should be placing nothing in that "disk." If you haven't created the recovery disks, I suggest that you do so soon. If you have to order them from Dell, I believe the price is around $30 and it takes a couple of weeks. These disks used to be provided in the box on shipment. Just hope that you haven't corrupted the file. |
