Windows 10: Recovery Drive I have 1.04 GB LEFT FROM 10.4 GB

Is there a free program that will free up files/space for the recovery drive?

Macrium Bootable Rescue USB - why 1 Gb drive recomended!!


After installing Reflect I made a Rescue Media USB, however the only spare size I had was 4 Gb, and seeing the file are less than 250 Mb considered this was a waste of a thumb drive, especially as I have three different systems that each will require their own Rescue Media.
I bought some 512 Mb drives, however Reflect informs me there is insufficient room on the drives, when using the help files I am informed to use 1 Gb drives, which I don't understand for 0.25 Gb of files. However I have transferred my files from the 4 Gb drive to the 512 Mb drive and they seem to work (well boots up OK), though I have kept my original on the 4 Gb drive.
Questions:

1. Why are Macrium recommending to to use 1 Gb drive.
2. Why does Reflect tell me there isn't enough room on the drive, when there obviously is.
3. Will my 512 Mb drive actually work.
4. Can I put more than one set of Rescue Media on one USB drive, and if so how.

Many thanks to those of you who, and more so to those that provide answers.

 

Why 2.66 GB usable in 4 GB ram?

Thanks to everyone for their valuable suggestions. I guess the problem was with the OS.Because after increasing my ram from 4 gb to 8 gb still the usable memory was 2267 mb out of 8 gb, then I did a clean install of Windows 7.Now everything is fine and smooth, and usable memory is 7.9 gb out of 8 gb.

 

Ram upgrading: 4+4=8 gb or 4+8=12 gb?

What would be better choice 4+4=8 gb or 4+8=12 gb?
