    Remove Recovery Image?


    C:\Windows\System32\Recovery is 366 MB due to the recovery image winre.wim


    I make backup images of my C: drive every day. I also maintain backup images of 'milestones' such as my clean install of Windows 10.


    In the unlikely event that I want to actually reinstall Windows 10, I still have the USB flash drive (made from the ISO) that I used for my clean install of Windows 10.


    My point is: I will truly never wish to recover my PC (make a recovery drive or reset.) Instead, if I need to, I'll restore an image.


    Is there a safe way to remove the Windows recovery image to regain those 366 MB ... is it sufficient to simply delete the C: ...\Recovery folder?

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    click the top spoiler and then look down to recovery.

    All of the suggestions in the old threads were consolidated into that one.
