How to Use
Removing Recovery Contents to Free up Disk
Space
Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for system recovery
is stored. If your VAIO computer includes a solid state drive (SSD), you might want to
minimize the recovery area by removing such data.
The above procedure involves system recovery. The applications and data you added on the
storage device before removing the data for system recovery will all be lost.
Once you have removed the data for system recovery, you need the Recovery Media for
later system recovery.
1. Create Recovery Media if you have not yet created it.
2. Insert the Recovery Media into the optical disc drive or connect a USB flash drive to
the USB port on your VAIO computer while the computer is in Normal mode.
Note
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the USB port that is compliant with the USB
2.0 standard, connect a USB device to the port.
3. Turn off your VAIO computer and turn it on once again.
If you are using the USB flash drive, restart the computer and press the
F11 key
repeatedly until the VAIO logo disappears.

your data, if needed.
