My computer keeps saying low disk space

What version of Windows are you running? Do you have admin rights with your system? I would uninstall PC Angel and use Window's built in disk utilities. If your doing everything correctly you shouldn't need a third party application to manage your disk drive.
I checked on PC Angel it is a disaster recovery imaging backup software. Essentially it looks like it makes a separate partition on your HD and stores images there. You can do that on your own and take backups when you want to...however I would assume you have some type of control panel for PC Angel and can make appropriate changes in there to control when it backs up and how often...
If you want to keep using PC Angel and are comfortable with it I found this thread in their knowledge base that might help you out.

Hope this helps! Keep us up to date!
well its not a popup notice, when i click on the recovery folder this shows on the folder instead of the information, Recovery Partition
"""""Warning!
This area of your hard disk
(or partition) contains files used
for your system recovery.
Do not delete or alter these files.
Any change to this partition could
prevent any recovery later.""""
and above that is the pc angel logo.
so i dont know what i should do
Ok... are you low on disk space? You can find out by double clicking "my computer" the right click on the root drive ... which is the drive Windows is installed on. Right click and choose properties.
The reason your getting that message is because that is the partition PC Angel created for backing up your system recovery files.
What version of Windows are you running?
I think the problem is because your PC Angel software is filling up the drive when it does a backup. What you need to do is open that software and adjust the amount of files it is backing up, because that is the root of the problem.
So I guess what I'm saying is that you need to change those settings in PC Angel... there should be an option to delete old backups in there.
Try using this application to figure out where all the space is gone:
wow ok that helps and apparently its not a virus, it says its the recycle bin that i guess was backed up i did have a lot of stuff that i eventually did empty it out but now how do i delete that part that is backed up? it doesn't show in my d drive. only on this thing that you just sent me.
that isnt an option when i click view.
this is what i see when i do the thing that i downloaded

is it safe to delete the things that are taking up space?
