Windows 10: Hello, today when I was merging two drives I mistakenly deleted healthy recovery...

When I was merging d drive with c drive i mistakenly deleted healthy recovery partition drive,i don't know what should I do now please help me with this

:)

 

Need to delete an old healthy Recovery partition.

Press Windows key + X

Click Disk Management

Select the Recovery Partition

Right click it, click 'Format'

You will receive a Warning dialog, click OK to continue.

The next step is to select your file system option, in this case, go with the default which is NTFS.

The formatting process will now begin.

Once complete, the drive will be displayed as a ‘Logical Drive’ in Disk Management.

Right click the ‘Logical Drive’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

The Volume you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition. Right click the System volume (usually the C:\ drive where Windows is installed) then click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual
menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.

 

Unknow drive and recovery drive located on my PC

Hi Cameron,

As per the added information, I suggest that you delete the partition listed below:

1. 99MB Healthy Partition.

2. 450MB Healthy Recovery Partition (This is the system recovery drive that might have been created during Windows 10 installation)

To delete the said partitions, you can follow the steps outlined below:

1. Right click on Start Menu to open Disk Management.

2. Here right click on the respective partition and select Delete Volume.

If you delete a primary partition, the resulting empty space is called unallocated disk space . If you delete a logical drive within an extended partition, the resulting empty space is called
free space.

Hope this helps

Regards

 

Will "healthy recovery partition" will be re-created if I re-installed windows 10 from the internet?

Ok, installing 3rd party tool is an option.

but what if I deleted the healthy recovery partition using PowerShell then I merged the unallocated partition with the C drive, then I reset the windows 10 with the "Clean the drive" option in order to re-create the "healthy recovery partition" that I deleted using PowerShell, will this work?
