Inspiron 5675, error message: "Running out of disk space on E drive"

Changes Like that Require ADMINISTRATIVE LOGIN.

This cannot be done via windows explorer right click on a drive.

If you do start run, DISKMGMT.MSC it will likely say.

DISKMGMT

Thats also why when you try doing this with DISKPART it requires ADMINISTRATIVE command prompt.

I have no idea what you're saying. I am the only person using this computer so who else would be 'admin login?' Please do not 'SHOUT' - it's rude and upsetting. I'm now in tears. I'm asking for help, not to get shouted at. Feel proud, do you? Logging off here now and not coming back.

Goodbye.

Dalmagirl, 

I believe they were only trying to help you.  Just so you know, it's only yelling if they are typing the whole response in all caps (capital letters), not because their fonts are large or because they are typing the commands in all caps. Many people type accentuated words (like the actual command) in Caps to differentiate it from the rest of the sentence or to accent it.  I'm telling you this for future reference to try to help you out. People don't have to help at all, so I would hate to think that you can't or won't get the help in the future because you took something wrong and then just literally blew up at someone that was only trying to help.  Just saying........

The responses are not yelling.

They are NOT IN ALL CAPS.

The font is large because I am old and blind.

This is a side effect of windows 10 updates assigning a drive letter to the recovery partition.

After the upgrade, some people will suddenly see OEM or recovery partitions that have a logical drive letter assigned to them. Then Windows 10 starts with constant notifications that the drive is full.

The FIX / workaround is to remove the logical drive letter from this partition. Then the partition no longer appears as a drive in Explorer and you no longer get annoying messages.

In the administrative prompt window, run the commands listed below.

To do this type cmd into the search box, and then right-click and choose Run as administrator.

diskpart

list volume

select volume   

remove letter E

exit

Hi, I am a little computer illiterate. Could you please spell out the steps in a little more detail. I don't know how you 'remove letter'. I really hate this error message and just want it to go away. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
