HP Pavilion Slimline Model s3780 Desk Top. D Drive is nearly full (Factory Image) what do I need to do when it is full? I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 but apart from this no changes have been made.

The Recovery partition by default only has a limited amount of free space and has no bad effect on machine. Things to look at..be sure you are not saving or backing up files there. Turn off System Restore for that partition if it is enabled.Right click "Computer" icon choose "properties".In the window that opens look at left side for 'System protection' to open and check.

Sewpat, welcome to the forum.
As you stated, the D:\ drive is the Factory Image. Therefore, nothing should be written to it. Otherwise, it may be corrupted. If you are not going to use Vista in the future, however, you may want to eliminate it. You could make discs to replace it. One thing that you can do is assure that nothing is written to it from this point forward.
As for what you can delete from it, I really can't say.
