Shortly after windows 10 came about I decided to upgrade my Acer laptop from windows 8.1 to windows 10.
Never looked back windows 10 is great.
Now looking at my C drive in Disc manager it shows a lot of partitions in the HDD.
Would it be possible to delete some of the partitions as wont need the recovery section now windows 8.1 is no longer there.
What would be the best option Please.Many Thanks to all who have looked at my post and thanks to any replies.
Drive here..............
It looks normal as is. No need to worry.
400mb contains Recovery tools
400mb contains boot code. Without it, PC won't boot
there's an MSR partition, probably 128MB but not seenwith disk management.
C: is windows OS
16.44GB is Windows 8 factory recovery image.
NOTE:If you don't need the 16.44 gb (Windows 8 image). You can delete it. To delete:
Open Admin command:
- diskpart
- select disk 0
- select partition 5
- delete partition override
- exit
Many thanks for the reply.

It was just a thought that the mini tool would be easier than the windows method.I have never done that method with windows before,Would it be possible for you to give me a run down on how to achieve this with windows.
Sorry to be a pain in the rear still learning.Having good advice from here has been wonderful.
Thanks.
I did give you the instruction on how to delete the partition in post #2.
Open Admin Command: Win+X->Command Prompt (Admin)then type exactly as follows:Code:diskpart select disk 0 select partition 5 delete partition override exit
Okay got it.
Many Thanks.
Thankyou Job done.
