Hi,
I just installed the last Windows 10 Features Update, version 1803 (the one with Task View) and suddenly a Local Disk (E that was not there before has appeared in my computer.
Normally there would only be two drives listed in This PC: Windows (C, which is a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB, and a DVD/CD drive. That's all. But now after this update there is this E drive which is listed as nearly full: "39.9MB free of 508MB". In Disk Management it appears listed as a OEM Partition (in addition to another OEM Partition, a 500MB "Recovery Disk")
If I run the Samsung Magician app, which I use to mantain my drive, this E drive is also listed there as a separate drive (whereas the other OEM partition, "Recovery", has never been listed there or in This PC)
Annoyingly, now a notification keeps popping up warning: "Low Disk Space. You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (E. Click here to see if you can free space on this drive" But clicking there doesn't free anything.
I have tried running the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter, which innitially found a Restart pending. I restarted but drive E is still there. Running the Hardware or Updates troubleshooter again finds no issues.
How can I get rid of this drive E so that things are back to normal and I don't keep getting that notification?
