Best Answer

Backup files should be kept in a different location [CD, thumb drive, external drive] in case your computer breaks down. If the hard drive fails or the operating system crashes, you have your files safe somewhere.

Can you free up space on recovery drive d?

Yes, you can delete a backup by following these steps: # Open the location where the backup is saved. For example, if you backed up your files in "D," open drive D. # Right-click the folder containing the backup you want to delete, and then click Delete. #* Backups are saved in this format: \\Backup Set . For example, if your computer name is Computer, your backup location is D, and you backed up on April 2, 2006 at 16:32:00, that backup would be located in D:\Computer\Backup Set 2006-02-04 163200. You would right-click the folder named Backup Set 2006-02-04 163200 to delete that backup. #* When you make a full backup, a backup folder is created and labeled with the date for that day. As you add updates, that date stays the same, but your backup is not out of date. The next time you make a full backup, a new backup folder is created and labeled with the date for that day, and any updates are then added to that new folder. You should not delete the current backup folder.
