You don't mention on what PC laptop etc .
Recovery drive is not something you mess with as you can lose your recovery.
Can you see it in explorer .0 -
Hi
Sorry its on a HP laptop and windows 100 -
Get into Disk Manager (Windows + x will bring up menu showing it).
Your main windows drive should show as the C drive and on the same disk there will normally be two other partitions the larger one being the recovery partition and it will be labelled as such. It should have NO drive letter. I suspect yours does and will be labelled D. As the recovery partition will normally be pretty much full this is probably why you keep seeing this warning.
If this is the case then I'd consider removing the drive letter - http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/38112/~/windows-10%3A-change-a-drive-letter-in-disk-management0 -

Are you actively saving anything to this drive?
Documents, music, photos, anything?
Download WinDirStat and run it against the drive to see not only how much space has been used, but exactly what is using the space.0
