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.

Unable to expand part of drive C at the expense of part D.

Hello, I have encountered the problem that when trying to expand parts of the main drive it does not work. Parts of the main disk, that is, C and D can themselves divide into parts, but at the same time join into one can not. Does not help neither as a disk management itself Windows, and third-party software. (The main task to combine C and D in one drive or at least to give C more space).

 

EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE - ADDING UNALLOCATED SPACE MAKES DYNAMIC DRIVE, ALL MUST REMAIN BASIC DRIVES - WINDOWS 10

Hi Maxine,

The reason why your disk is converted to Dynamic is because the space that you're using to expand are not yet formatted. To convert the Dynamic disk to Basic disk, follow these steps:

Disclaimer: We recommend that you back up the drive that you will convert to prevent any loss of information. Never convert the drive that contains your Operating System.

• Right-click Windows and select Disk Management.
• Right-click the volume that you wish to convert.
• Select Delete Volume.
• Once you're done, right-click the disk and select Convert to Basic Drive.
• Wait for the operation to complete. Click OK if prompted.

Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.
