    What and why is this file taking up so much space?


    So i was going through my laptop HP Pavilion to clean up junk storage i didn't need to speed up my computer. I was going through files when i noticed this file named RECOVERY D: located in devices and drives tab. It was also taking up 14 GB of HDD space with which is weird because all i found in the file when i opened it was a shortcut to the WINDOWS C: drive that was using 1 KB. i would really like to know how to reduce or remove the file because it takes alot of space that i need.

    :)
