Partition running out of space after windows update

Windows update ran recently and after the updates were applied and the system rebooted. I started getting getting messages that one of my drives was running out of space. I didn't recognize the drive letter (K) and when I tried using windows explorer to see what was on it, it showed a drive with no files. I used disk management and found the partition in question. It's a 450MB partition that is labeled "OEM partition". Right clicking on the K drive only shows "help" in the context menu with none of the usual options (ie open, explore, change drive letter ect). I assume that either the windows update process or the low space error caused windows to assign a drive letter to some kind of system reserved partition, that previously wasn't assigned a letter. Does anybody know what might be on this drive or how I would manage what is on it to free up some space? Thank you in advance.
