OK so my "Recovery" Drive or w/e it's called it nearly at max. Should I leave it like that or is there a way to free that space? I'm not a computer geek or something so I really have no clue how to even use that drive. I tried opening it a few times but nothing comes up, no files, nothing.

You're not supposed to use it; it's for system recovery, and all the files are hidden.
 
The recovery partition is there in case you need to restore your system. It only contains the files that are needed to do such a restore so if it's full, there's nothing wrong with that, it just means it's not wasting any space.

Ahh I see. But can you tell me why it's almost at max? I don't even have that many programs and files on my laptop
