    Would 1TB USB storage data be deleted if I add a Recovery Disk to it?


    Hi.

    Hi everyone.
    I am just a perpetual learner 77 years old great grandma who battles with computers for years, and never learns enough. Here I wonder if any of you can tell me that if I place my 1TB USB storage to store a Recovery Disk, would all my recorded data in my 1 TB be deleted? It is said that for a Recovery disk for Windows 10 a 16GB USB pen drive is sufficient. But I have none of these type. So, I followed all the steps to create a Recovery disk and suddenly a caution came : Be aware that all your data drive will be deleted. So, I decided not to go ahead. Because I did not know if that meant that all the data of the my current Recovery disk will be deleted as it goes in the USB storage or indeed will be deleted all my precious data kept in my 1TB for the last 4 years.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    :)

    Will deleting the factory partition render the recovery disk useless?

    More than likely it is of no use NOW . The recovery disk is nothing more than drivers and some BS . You will not get the OS and recovering from a recovery disk only works if the drive partition is fine and has been untouched by any one .
    The best thing to do is delete all the partitions and just install windows on the HDD make your own recovery disk and your done not to mention you get all that drive space back .
