Can You Delete .Dmg Files Upgrade To Windows

Can I delete files on my recovery drive Also, if I upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, will it stop the disk is full error messages Thank You.

Can You Delete .Dmg Files Free Up Space

If you downloaded or copied files onto the D drive, you can either move them over to C, or delete them to free up space.

Before you grow or shrink a drive, you should always backup the system in case anything goes wrong.

Please note that if you proceed with a new Windows upgrade and did not delete your old recovery partition, then it would contain an out of date disk image backup of the system.

I suggest the new recovery partition be at least 25 GB in size to store your new disk image backup of Windows.

So, if the hard drive is 1 TB in size, C drive would be 975 GB and D drive would be 25 GB (approximately).

I cant promise Ill respond to all the messages I receive (depending on the volume), but Ill do my best.
