How do I free space on my recovery hard disk drive?

i have already used disk cleanup and defrag multiple times, and it has not worked……so i was wondering what i could manually delete……also i heard something about backup recovery files (clones) could take up extra space just a fyi. *any help would be greatly appreciated*

Deleting ANYTHING on a recovery hard disk is a bad idea, because everything on there is highly compressed. Deleting things you "might not need" may corrupt the whole archive, rendering the recovery disk useless.

If you are that much strapped for space, don’t risk making a 5gb or so disk smaller and break it, just spend $70 and buy a 2tb external hard drive. You’ll never fill it up
