    Second Hard drive has waisted space that I cannot recover


    I have a small ssd drive C that my operating system is on. When it was installed the operating system and a recovery partition was created on this C: drive. Sytem is windows 10 version 10.0 build 17763


    This left my E: drive with 2 recovery partitions and an EFI system partition that are simply taking up space. How can the both recovery and the EFI partition they be removed from my E or disk 1. My C: drive is disk 0

    :)

    Hard Drive Space Missing

    Hi,

    It is possible that hard drive space was missing due to a corrupted file system. To better assist you, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Have you tried deleting temporary files?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from checked the hidden files?

    We're looking forward to your response.

  3. Recover files from Flash drive

    Does not work on a windows pc which is what the OP probably intended

    windows by default does not have HFS and HFS+ based hard drives.
    Able to perform retrieval on both HFS and HFS+ based hard drives. and so will not work with windows

    thanks for the effort
