Low Disk Space every time I startup?

Every time I start my computer it says I have low disk space on Drive D. So
I run the disk cleanup option and delete the filkes for the recycle bin.
Then it does the same thing next time I startup?

I think that this may be happening because you have low disk space on drive
D:

How big is drive D:?
How much of drive D: is free space?
(HINT: Right click D: in Windows Explorer.)

5.69 mb free of 9.44 gb, so it is full, but what fills it up? When it ask me
to clean it, it only shows recycle bin in D. But when I look, there is lot's
of stuff on it besides recycle bin.

Sounds like it may be the factory restore stuff for your system. So,
it's not for general-purpose use and it doesn't matter that it has
very little free space, but Vista doesn't know that :-)

Thanks for no solution, anybody (preferably Microsoft MVP), HELP!

Some reading for you..

http://www.watchingthenet.com/window...ification.html

Has the computer always warned you? If it hasn't, then something has been
added to the recovery partition (D).. you may have done this inadvertently,
maybe saved something there, installed a program or split the page file over
multiple drives..

If you want to keep the partition intact, and just want to get rid of the low
space warnings:

Control Panel (Classic view) > Administrative Toots > Computer Management >
highlight Disk Management in the left pane > right
click in the right pane on the D partition and select Change Drive Letter and
Paths > Click the Remove button > click OK

If you want to access the volume later, you can reassign a drive letter. The
data on the disk will not be damaged.

If that page is correct about the origin of the warning, disabling
System Restore for the D: drive would be a simple fix. It is static
content, so System Restore wouldn't be useful for that partition
anyway.

Apologies for being in the wrong place. Can't Find a Subject box to type a
question (1st time user), after clicking New and Question. Can you help
redirect me? Thanks.
