    Recovery disk (D) has 10 Gb. There is only 4Mb of free space left. The popup notice advices that you clear some of old files out.
    It only shows recycle bin which is empty and I have carried out the usual defrag and disk clean.
    I have also deleted all temporary Internet files and old restore points but it still insists it only has 4Mb free space.
    What else can I do to free up some space as it does not have enough space to create a new restore point?

    What is your current configuration, disk/partition wise?

    C partition (OS)280Gb
    D partition (recovery) 10Gb
    Just discoverd that the total of all folders in D is only about 5Gb but it seems to think it is almost 10Gb.
    Seems to be a fault somewhere?
