Hello,

After updating Windows 10, one of the "OEM" partitions that has 500MB and is created during partitioning the disk during installation, got the letter and is visible in 'my computer'.
The problem is that there are files (system, bootable) that occupy about 480MB with 500MB, so the system informs about the ending place every now and then.

Can I delete this letter somehow (the system disk manager does not allow this) or remove messages about the overfilling partition?

greetings

I will check according to the instructions, but on the same page it is described that the same effect will be obtained by the partition manager, which, as I mentioned, does not allow any operation, the context menu of this partition contains only 'help'.
In addition, the partition from that topic is the 'last' added by the laptop manufacturer, probably with drivers, and for me it is the first and probably associated with booting the system.

After enabling the Command Prompt, enter the command in the main window, which should then be confirmed with Enter:
diskpart

It will allow us to display a list of partitions on our computer. It may take a while for the Command Prompt to display the list. Then enter the next command:
Select volume X

Where "X" is the name of our recovery partition that we want to hide. Then enter one more command confirmed with Enter:
Remove Letter X

Where, of course, "X" is the letter of our partition. After deleting the partition letter, it will also disappear from the Windows File Explorer and will no longer be visible to us.
