Hello,

I am reaching out to you because of a little scare my ASUS gave me; since the last update, it indicates that my local disk E: is full (40.5 MB available out of 498 MB); however, when I click on it, I get: "The folder is empty."

I must admit I don't understand.

Do you have any solutions to help me clear/clean this disk (as much as possible)? Can a cleaner be of any use to me? Is it just a matter of deleting restore points?

Thank you very much in advance!

Good evening,

This is related to the 1803 update that assigns a drive letter to the recovery partition.
You need to follow this tutorial to re-hide it: https://www.malekal.com/espace-disque-faible-apres-mise-a-jour-windows-10-1803/
