Hi Forum,

This is an hp laptop, the E-drive on the laptop is the HP Recovery partition.. I keep getting the E-drive is utilisation exceeded everyday as warning message on that laptop..
Does anyone know how to solve that issue out or why the E-drive is over utililised as its only the recovery partition.

Thanks so much

Hi Ashvin

Maybe this can help
Download Windirstat
When you have the problem use windirstat to see what is in that partition. You can put the cursor over various partitions to see what it in it.
WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

It is my guess, that you do not have much space left and it is full with shadow copies, etc.
But use the software, and we will see.

Yeap the recovery partition is full, I runned your recommended software great tool to explore the recovery partition as it was locked to see changes..
The solution here, I am going to resize the partitions on the machine and increase the recovery one..
