Warning Pop-up disk full
I am constantly receiving popups warning me that my disk is nearly full. I have a Dell Pentium Windows Vista. When I check 'computer' under start it does show Recovery (E) is full. 1.81 MG free of 14.6 GB
I am NOT computer savvy, just a 60 something grandmother, so, please, if you can help me, keep it simple! I appreciate any help anyone may have.

Hi Mimisjake,
Go to Start and click COMPUTER. When it opens right click Recovery D then click open. A list of files should appear and if one has your name delete it. Tell me if that works.

Hi, I did as you suggested and got as far as right clicking in Recovery D. All that shows there is Recovery E which is a solid red bar. Now what?

I'm sorry, you need to right click the E drive, not the D drive.
