If you’ve bought a PC with Windows 8 or 10 installed, you may be surprised to find that there is not quite as much storage space available as you would expect based on the size of your hard drive. This could be for a couple of reasons, including a Windows recovery image occupying several gigabytes.It is also possible that your system supplier included their own recovery partition. We have already looked at how it is possible to but it is also possible to take full control of your hard drive by claiming back the non-Windows partitions.

These days is it quite a rarity to buy a system that includes recovery media. All too often these are included as disk images or a bootable recovery partition on the main hard drive. While this is great a cost–cutting exercise, there is potential for problems should your system suffer from hard drive failure or corruption.Just as is advisable to store backups away from the rest of your data, so it is not necessarily the best idea to store recovery data on the same partition as Windows itself – if your hard drive fails, you’re going to be left searching for a way to get everything reinstalled.You can use our and select the option to delete the recovery partition at the end of this process. This is less about claiming back space and more about having a sensible restoration option available to you in the case worst should happen, but there is no harm in putting disk space to better use.But if you have already created recovery media without deleting the recovery partition, all is not lost.

Is there a way to move the recovery partition or the C drive partition so. In mind this is you OS drive, you can't do that natively with Windows.

So, I've had this 1Tb HDD lying around unused, so I had the bright idea of shoving it in place of my Dell Latitude E6410's original 640Gb HDD, use that in place of the old 60Gb HDD on my T60 (a mere 60Gbs just weren't enough to accommodate my Google Drive - running on Linux with InSync - and Mega cloud storage), and put my latest W10 Pro system image on the 1Tb in the E6410.All well and good so far - except when I checked the partitions after I reinstalled the system image from the original 640Gb, this is what I got. You need to use a third party partition management software to move the Recovery partition. Something like Partition Wizard would handle that fine and some have bootable media you can use. I do not know what might be available in your part of the world.After you move the partition you can extend C at the same time or use Disk Management. But don't try to move the partition in front of C since that would get it out of order and probably mess up your boot.If you are going to Windows 10, you can install over the earlier OS and later do a clean install.

Hi Tesssa, welcome to the forums. The op is referring to the recovery partition, which does lie behind the primary, and not the all important boot partition, at the front (System reserved)sjanzeir. First, welcome to you, also.You can delete the partition manually, if you do not feel you will need to recover. You can, of course, set up the recovery again in Windows 10. With an upgrade, this partition is also used in the process of retuning to your earlier Windows os. Under you circumstances, I think we can assume that you have made a clean install, anyway??Please, before you follow this, is that is what you ant to do, make a reliable backup of the hard disk!!To delete it, try this:1.Right click the start icon and select the Command prompt(Admin).2.Type Diskpart in the command prompt - Enter.3. Type rescan at the prompt.

enter - This operation will take a few seconds.4. Type list disk and press Enter5.Select the disk, where the partition is sitting - in your case, probably 0, by typing Select disk 06. Type list partitions and enter.7.Carefully select the partition that you wish to delete, by typing select partition x (substitute x)8. Type delete partition override and enter. In disk management, you can only extend partition using the unallocated space next to its right side. So even if you shrink D: drive, the option to extend C: drive is still grayed out.

You have to delete a contiguous partition, before you can merge partitions in Disk Management. Therefore, My suggestion is to use a third party software, AOMEI Partition Assistant, both the standard (free) or the Professional(paid) version will do. You can use it to either move the unallocated space and extend partition with disk Management or directly.Even though you will not lose the data in the process, be sure to backup any data on the disk that you cannot lose first just to be safe in case something happens. Say a power outage while in the middle of merging partitions.

Hi, I followed the instructions here, and deleted the recovery partition that was in the way.I still have a recovery partition at the very end of the disk. (Probably due to reinstalling Windows.)Question is: am I now good to go, or do I have to repair/recreate my recovery partition?I think I have to recreate it, because the recovery options in Windows are not finding my recovery data.Actually, I still have the missing recovery partition in a system image.

I suppose I could restore it onto the recovery partition at the end of the disk? Not sure if the sizes match.
