System Recovery > Repair folder hogging disk space
I have noticed that C:\System Recovery\Repair is taking a large amount of disc space. TreeSize shows that it contains 351,288 files, Size 53.8GB, Allocated 36.2GB. The file types are mainly .dll .exe .manifest .sys .mof .cat
I read elsewhere on the web that it might relate to Dell Backup and Recovery and that uninstalling that program might release the space. I have therefore uninstalled it but no space has been released. I tried to copy it to an external disc with a view to possibly deleting it, but Windows did not allow me to access it.
What is this folder? Is it managed by Windows? Can it be reduced in size, or removed?
