Windows 10: Recovery Disk on pc is near full

my recovery disk is near full but I cannot access it to see what is on it. It just says 'Other' but uses up nearly the whole disk. I continually keep getting messages telling me that I need space but I have lots of space on my other disk and have no idea what is on this. What do I do?

XP disk versus Laptop Recovery Disk?

Recovery disks are just OEM copies of XP disks. Ie, they can have things such as the companys logo within the files.

If you got a normal XP disk you cant use it. The only way your dads copy of XP will activate is if your normal XP copy is OEM, unless you use the recovery disk.

I always use the recovery disks. Works just like a normal copy *Smile . Plus with the recovery disks you dont need the serial key as I *think* its embedded into the files on the disk. Just need to activate windows once on the net *Wink .
