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.
If you use Recovery Media (optical discs) on the model without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external optical
disc drive (not supplied) to the computer. See
for more information on how to connect the
external optical disc drive.
If an AC adapter or a power cable is supplied, plug it into a power source.
1. Create Recovery Media if you have not yet created it.
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.
