    Remove recovery partitions

    I just created a backup image of my computer so I don't really need the recovery supplied with Windows. I will be backing up my SP3 on a weekly basis on my external HDD.

    So can I now use diskpart to remove the recovery partitions 1, 4 & 5 & extend my C drive?

    Remove Recovery Partition

    Sure, you can delete it with disk management. But what do you then do with the few bytes.

    Yes, I forgot.
    I used my imaging software to remove it.
    I resized my primary partition to use up the free space.

    Hmm I am puzzled. With what imaging software can you remove a partition.
