Maybe you had created this Microsoft Windows Recovery Drive before and forgot why and what this recovery is used for. Actually, the creation of a recovery disk is a smart move. In this manner, you'll be able to reinstall Windows 11 or Windows 10 using the recovery disc in the event that your PC ever encounters a serious problem, such as a hardware breakdown. When trying to format Microsoft Recovery Drive, you should know that Windows will not allow you to format or erase this drive once you have created it.
If you really need more space on your computer, you should try the following methods rather than formatting the Microsoft Windows Recovery Drive.
- Delete unnecessary files in Windows Storage. You can click Settings > System > Storage on Windows and free up space on Windows.
- Uninstall unnecessary applications. Maybe you have installed too many applications on your computer. When you get it, you should uninstall some applications that you nearly do not use to free up space.
- Back up large files to the cloud or external hard drive. Don't need to save large files you don't use on your computer, and you can upload them to the cloud to free up space on a local drive.
- Empty your Recycle Bin Windows 10 or 11. The files you deleted will be moved to the Recycle Bin folder. If you want to delete them from your computer, you need to empty the Recycle Bin.
