    Can I delete multiple redundant recovery partitions to free up some space?


    I have some troubles freeing up space and noticed that there are multiple recovery partitions apart from the one in use. Can I safely delete the extra ones, since I checked in cmd which one is the one in use ?

    :)

    Will deleting the factory partition render the recovery disk useless?

    More than likely it is of no use NOW . The recovery disk is nothing more than drivers and some BS . You will not get the OS and recovering from a recovery disk only works if the drive partition is fine and has been untouched by any one .
    The best thing to do is delete all the partitions and just install windows on the HDD make your own recovery disk and your done not to mention you get all that drive space back .

    How do I delete the second recovery partition?

    There are Partition copy instructions on pages 17-18 EaseUS Partition Master user guide. Should I do the following:

    • Copy the Recovery Partition that is between my C partition and unallocated space to the end to the unallocated space.
    • Delete the original copy of this Recovery Partition.
    • Resize C into the now adjacent unallocated space.
    This would leave the original Recovery Partition at the beginning of the disk, before C. If I do this, will the moved Recovery Partition still be usable?

    How to delete multiple Recovery Partitions


    Hello,
    I am looking at this again now. In the other thread, number 6, does it delete any of my data on C: or my D: partition that I already created? It looks complicated, but I supposed I can make my way through the Option 2 in the thread post 6.

    I have posted an image of my partitions again using MiniTool. Is there some easy step I can take using MiniTool?
    Thanks.
