    Recovery partition is too big?


    Hey! I am rocking a new 120gb Kingston SSD on my pc and here is the deal. Ive been making these restore points once every month. and i just recently got a notification that im out of space. Now i thought "Wait, windows already used 120 gigs of my ssd?" and went to my pc to see that i have 8gb free out of 80gb. Went to disk managment, and saw that recovery partition is 36 gb, and it is 100% free. Is there any way to shrink the size?

    Pics of my pc specs:

    How To: Create recovery partition.

    it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

    Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
    Name: Recovery
    Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
    and hit Add Entry
    I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
    At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)

    Recovery partition is too big?

    Is my Recovery Partition big enough?

    Not a problem at all. Thats the hp recovery partition and you will

    want that to stay fully functional in case things go wrong. Leave it alone.

    The bar is blue. If it was red that would mean the partition is not quite big enough.

    With a 1TB drive you have more than enough space for everything !
