Local Disk E

Anonymous

I updated to the Creators Spring 1803 update yesterday. Everything seems to be fine although I have not done much since updating. However I notice in windows explorer under Local disk C another entry for Local disk E? It is for 449mb in size with 42.9mb free space left. It opens to show nothing saying the folder is empty. What is it ? Anything to do with the update or can I just delete it?

Yes, it is 3 in your case. It can vary to a system by system.

Correct squence:

diskpart

list volume

select volume 3

remove letter="E"

This is one of the known issues I am seeing with the update as Recovery partition should be hidden and is accidentally assigned a drive letter.

Right-click Start>Command Prompt(admin)

Type in the following:

diskpart

list volume

select volume 3

Replace 3 with the number of the volume which is assigned a drive letter. (In hundreds of MBs)

remove letter="G"

Replace G with the Recovery drive letter.

Don't worry, removing a drive letter would not cause any harm to your device.
