    The system was delivered with a 14.6GB partition called the recovery partition (I think it is windows 7). This computer has been updated to Windows 10 Anniversary edition.

    Hi,
    Windows includes a built-in tool to delete unimportant data. Click on the Search icon to open the Start Menu and type Disk Cleanup. When the program window opens select the required hard drive. Click OK to begin the initial scan. Then select the option to Clean up system files and then click OK. Check boxes Previous Windows installation(s), temporary files, log files, files in your recycle bin, and other unimportant files.
