A new partition has been created in my pc, and it has no name. when starting defragment and optimize tool, i can see a partition as in screenshot below . Do you have any idea how can i merge it with any other partition or remove?
I'm going to guess this is the shadow volume, no need to worry about it ... I have that on all of my win 10 units.
If not, I'm open to correction.
I just checked and I don't see it on my computer.I'm going to guess this is the shadow volume, no need to worry about it ... I have that on all of my win 10 units.

Hello @mister bypasser, welcome to windowssh blog.com!
It's a hidden partition that points to your Recovery Options, it is created when you upgrade a Windows Build.
You cannot do anything nor need to do anything with it.
A clean install will, however, not include that partition.
Hi mister
Can you explore that partition in Windows Explore? If it takes little space of disk, then keep it. It might be something important.
When I open the Defragment and Optimize Drives app, I also get such a volume/partition.A new partition has been created in my pc, and it has no name. when starting defragment and optimize tool, i can see a partition as in screenshot below .

But this is not in my computer. Neither in disk management nor in Windows Explorer.
So it is common and nothing to be worried of. It is not any partition, it is some mechanism of the defragment I think.
If you want to be sure, let us see your full screen disk management window.

It's the Recovery Partition, there are nooptions to merge or shrink it, or anything...
if you "Show Super Hidden"...
... then type the \?Volume..... blah, blah....
into a Runbox, it will show the Recovery items...
It may be the System Volume Information in that case. Defragger shows recovery partition as "Recovery" only.
The Recovery Partition is rightly hidden.
@Arc:
Yeah, it's, perhaps, different on every system.
I have a 'perpetual' System Reserved(1) and a Recovery Partition(2) that's created with an Upgrade Installation.
(I think the later is just for the "Rollback" option)
