Hi Bittech members I just noticed that today, but my recovery partition is obviously 5 times bigger than my Windows partition itself... The fact is, after I installed Windows 10 with all the softwares on this computer, like 1 year ago, I then created an image of the system, stored on a SSD of the same size. I always move my user session to another disk, because I like to keep Windows partition untouched and the recovery process is safer and quicker, besides, the image was created on the first day and I remember that this was not taking more space than the Windows partition itself at the time. Actually, even with a few more softwares installed, Windows partition weighs around 100 GB, but my recovery partition weighs 500 GB....does anybody can explain me why Thanks for reading
Are all of your drives separate drives? Are you sure D: drive isn't being used for other stuff as well? Usually the recovery partition should not be mounted with a drive letter as this makes it harder to accidentally add other stuff to it.
OHH, relevant...well, there are 2 M2 SSDs and 2 Sata SSDs but it's a fact that the main 1 TB M2, is splitted in 2 partitions, one for Windows, one for the User session...as I am writing this I start to think that you're pointing out what could explain it, I suddenly think that perhaps, the recovery process is saving also the files from the user session, even located on the secondary partition...
This is interesting, though, I don't see how to have a recovery partition without a drive letter..., there is something to learn for me here, unless you're thinking about a recovery image located on an external device? ... or a drive mounted as a folder?
