  3. How to delete the partition after creating a recovery drive on Windows 10?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about deleting the recovery partition after creating a recovery drive. We will help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps to delete the recovery partition from Command Prompt and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to log-in as an administrator with Microsoft account, try the below and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin)
    • Type: diskpart
    • At the DISKPART prompt, type: list disk (Make note of the disk number of the disk from which you want to delete the partition.)
    • At the DISKPART prompt, type: select diskn (Select the disk
      n from which you want to delete the partition.)
    • At the DISKPART prompt, type: list partition (Make note of the number of the partition that you want to delete.)
    • At the DISKPART prompt, type: select partition (Select the partition
      n that you want to delete.)
    • At the DISKPART prompt, type: delete partition

    Caution


    • Deleting a partition on a dynamic disk can delete all dynamic volumes on the disk, thus leaving the disk in a corrupt state. To delete a dynamic volume, use the
      delete volume command instead. For instructions on how to delete a dynamic volume, see Related Topics.

    • When you delete a partition, all data on that deleted partition or logical drive is lost.

    • You cannot recover deleted partitions or logical drives.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What is the type of the volume?

    You may check the type of the volume in disk management by following the below steps:

    • Press Windows + R.
    • Type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter.

    I request you to attach screenshot of the Disk Management page.
