my recovery disc is low, how do I clean this disc. It tells me to click on
the files to delete, but the only file i get is recycle bin and its empty,
yet recovery is in the red.

Are you saving stuff to your Recovery Partition? DON'T! The Recovery
partition is a special partition used in conjunction with your Recovery CD
to restore your system to Factory Settings. You shouldn't be doing anything
to it!

The only thing that should be on your recovery disk is the recovery image
for your system. If the partition is so small that there is only a small
mount of free space, then the PC manufacturer has made it that way and you
shouldn't worry.

On the other hand, if you have been saving files yourself to this partition
then you need to remove them and save them to your main operating system
partition (drive C
