Low Disk Space

[swoo]

Hello all,

I have an issue with a windows message popping up telling me I have low disk space:

Low Disk Space
Data(D.
Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.

After opening disk management it shows that I have a drive without a letter assigned that contains 450mbs. My C: drive which is my 250 gb (232 formatted) that has windows installed on it. My F drive has the 1 TB (931 Mbs formatted) that is my backup hard drive. I have a system reserved at 350 mbs, and then the drive in question the D: drive that is stated as the "Data" drive which has 100mbs allocated to it, with 1 mb free. How do I fix this, or stop the message popping up. There isn't anything in the D drive that I can see (it is all hidden). I am thinking this D drive is something that is partitioned by the Samsung Management App that speeds performance? Thoughts?

remove the drive letter from the drive.

navigate to "Create and format hard disk partitions" (search "disk" it should be one of the top results)
right click on your "D" drive
navigate to "change drive letter paths"
then remove the drive letter.

windows should stop bugging you then

that 100mb partition is the "system reserve" partition created by windows, it's needed BUT it does not need a drive letter to function.

Before you delete or change anything, please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window, so that we are all on the same page.

Thanks.

OK...
As noted above.
Right click on that "D" partition
Select Change or remove drive letter.
Remove it

No more D, and no more notifications.
That partition should not have a drive letter anyway.

What if it doesn't give me an option to remove it?
