Removing Recovery Content 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 to free

up disk space on the C: drive (or the last drive in your drive list, for example D: drive).

You need Recovery Media to remove the data for system recovery or to recover the computer after you remove the

data.

Note that removing recovery content makes it impossible to use the refresh function.

1. Create Recovery Media if you have not yet created it.

See

for more information on how to create Recovery Media.

2. Insert the Recovery Media into the optical disc drive or connect a USB flash drive (not supplied) to the USB port on

your VAIO computer while the computer is in Normal mode.

3. Turn off your VAIO computer.

4. Press the

ASSIST button to display the VAIO Care (Rescue Mode) screen and select Start from media

(USB device/optical disc).
Follow the on-screen instructions until the

VAIO Care (Rescue Mode): VAIO recovery solutions screen

appears.

5. Select

Tools and Remove recovery partition.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
