Low disk space in recovery drive E

Does anybody know a procedure for solving this problem that actually works? I copied and followed the following one from this forum and it doesn't work. I don't feel like itemizing all the places where it just doesn't behave as stated. In Windows 10 just try it; you'll see.


Running out of space on Recovery Disk E
The only files on the Recovery drive should be related to a system recovery and for some reason reads as full. When it gets full there is only one sure way to fix it, by changing the registry settings. To do this follow the instructions below. Once changed, reboot your computer and you will notice the annoyance is now fixed!

The windows registry controls this annoyance, to fix it follow these simple steps.

1. Click START–>RUN and type REGEDIT. Click OK.
2. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then SOFTWARE
then Microsoft
then Windows
then CurrentVersion
then Policies
then Explorer
HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Double-click on NoLowDiskSpaceChecks if it exists. If it doesn’t, right-click on ADVANCED and Select NEW–>DWORD VALUE and name it NoLowDiskSpaceChecks
4. Set this value to 1 to disable the low disk space warning message.
5. Save and close the Windows registry.
6. Reboot

I'm pretty sure that my Seagate Plus external hard drive wrote something to it but I have that unplugged now. I tried a fix that was posted in here that didn't work and, if it had, would only have prevented the warning from popping up. It seems to me that I need to set my E drive to larger capacity or clear it out and let it start over. I really don't understand this stuff. I think I have attached a screen print of my E drive to this reply.

This is all a bit over my head; I have a B average in 5 quarters of calculus and analytic geometry but I can't seem to get a handle on this computer stuff. I think that, if you don't have an 8-year-old around to tell you which button to push, you're screwed!
Here are some answers to the questions that you asked: I began trying to use the Seagate back in July, 2017 and have concluded, based on my own trouble with it and on the advise of others in forums, that it isn't the best. I plan to stop using Seagate's software, delete everything on it and use other software to do backups on it. In other words, just use it as an external hard drive and not use any of Seagate's "Plus" software in spite of how wonderful that pretty girl tells me it is.
As for the "photography" folder on the desktop, I either created it myself by "New > Folder > etc." or I transferred it over from my older computer using a thumb drive and that would have been months ago. I continue to add photos to it by connecting my camera by a USB cable. It is in C:\Users\Ken Lichtsinn\Desktop. On that issue, I have in the past few days, started seeing a strange occurrence of a message that says, "There are no pictures in Libraries\Pictures" that is in very small print and that migrates back and forth across my otherwise blank screen if I leave the computer on and unattended for a while. I have no clue where that came from! That is a real mystery to me, but maybe you can figure it out.
As for the date 12-16-17, I don't recall specifically but that might have been when I was trying to figure out how I could retrieve individual files from the Seagate. God only knows what kind of gyrations I might have gone through then. I didn't know that you can't just move or drag and drop files from a backup and that you need a special app to do that.
I'm puzzled as to what constitutes a "Data Drive". What goes there? Is there some way I can get a screen print that will answer your question, "Not sure what your partition structure looks like, you might have a C:, D: and E:. Is D: your data drive?" ?

Funny business here:
If I double click on the "Photography" folder on the desktop, it shows all the folders and files listed under "C:\Users\Ken Lichtsinn\Desktop\Photography".
Then,with that open, if I click on "Photography" under the "Quick access" heading, I get
This PC > RECOVERY E > Ken Lichtsinn > Desktop > Photography. !!We don't want that, right?!! More stuff that I totally do not understand. How do I get that stuff out of (E) and leave it in the other location? So do I just open up (E) and delete those files? Also, I have no idea how it got in (E) but it seems to me that I should find out so it doesn't keep happening.

If I double click on DOCUMENTS (all caps) on the desktop, I get C:\Users\Ken Lichtsinn\Desktop\DOCUMENTS. (There is another "Documents" folder created by Windows that I don't use, can't delete, and it's empty.) If I double click on DOCUMENTS under the "Quick Access" heading, I get the same thing; C:\Users\Ken Lichtsinn\Desktop\DOCUMENTS. So it appears (to my questionable understanding) that DOCUMENTS is not getting into (E). Good.

Sorry about the absence; you last requested a screenprint of my Disk Management screen and I then discovered that the way that I had been accomplishing screenprints no longer worked! Screenprints no longer appeared in This PC > Pictures the way they always had before! After 3 days of trying to find out why they disappeared, I still haven't found out why but I have succeeded in getting them back there!
Here's the latest screenprint of Disk Management: ( I hope )
