    No. I only see the 1 internal "disk" which has 6 partitions and the micro SD card installed. That is why I am wondering where your third disk is coming from. I would also recommend using MiniTool Partition Wizard Free. That is what I am going to use.

    As always @topgundcp , Clean only causes Diskpart to crash. I also tried that.

    Like I said, mine only shows the internal memory and the MicroSD card inserted:

    The internal memory had 6 partitions. I believe the last 8 GB recovery partition is the same as you are trying to delete:

    I ran Macrium Reflect Free and made an image of the entire hard drive. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to delete the two original recovery partitions - moved the Windows 10 recovery partition to the end of the disk and then extended the OS partition into the free space. I had no issues deleting any partitions. The only issue I had was that I could not extend the OS partition into the free space in front of it created by deleting the first recovery partition. I expect if I created a bootable MiniTool Partition Wizard USB and booted into it, I probably could do that.

    Here's what I ended up with:

    The question remains - why is your Recovery Partition showing up as a third disk and not just a partition on the first disk (internal memory)? I would try MiniTool Partition Wizard. And if you really want to try brute force, make a MiniTool Partition Wizard bootable USB and boot from that.

    What if you try to set the recovery partition as a basic data disk partition:
    select disk 2
    select partition 1
    set id=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 override

    I forgot about that. I'll bet that's it!

    Diskpart is showing the 8GB recovery as a single partition on Disk 2

    diskpart
    select disk 2
    detail disk

    The DISK 0 is fine. It contains only 1 recovery partition.

    I would be very interested to see what MiniTool Partition Wizard shows for disks and partitions.

    As I already mentioned above, the MiniTool did not help. All options are greyed out.

    I noticed that too, but I don't have any USB flashdrive attached to the tablet.

    From minitool. The disk is marked readonly and that's probably why everything is grayed out. Go back to diskpart and try:
    diskpart
    select disk #
    list volume
    select volume #
    att vol clear readonly
