I recently had to perform a Windows 10 Update (had no choice). After the update I kept on getting this error message:<\/p>\n

Low Disk Space<\/p>\n

You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (D:).<\/p>\n

Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This new drive didn’t exist before the update and it appears to be an OEM Partition and it’s been assigned a drive letter.<\/p>\n

The popup message was really getting annoying and it would appear every time I restarted the laptop. Apparently, there was a way to hack the registry to disable this popup message but I didn’t want to do this as I actually wanted to be notified when my C: was running out of disk space.<\/p>\n

I tried going into Disk Management to remove the drive letter but there was no option to do this when I right clicked. See below:<\/p>\n

THE FIX<\/h2>\n

I had to use the command tool called Diskpart. You need to run this tool in the command prompt as an administrator. Just follow the below steps or watch the video.<\/p>\n
