Home > Windows > Windows 10 > Windows 10 Delete Recovery partition

It is possible to have a recovery partition created after C: drive in Windows 10 after OS installation. This makes it difficult to increase the hard-disk size (esp. in case of VMs / storages) and expand C drive. If the recovery partition is not required then in such cases it can be deleted via:

  1. If there are backup options (eg snapshot, etc.) perhaps take a proper backup before proceeding
  2. Open "cmd" as Administrator
  3. Run disk partitioning utility: 
    diskpart
  4. Select appropriate disk where recovery partition is present (often disk 0) 
    list disk
    

    select disk 0
  5. List partition and see which partition is recovery partition 
    list partition
  6. Select the recovery partition 
    select partition <n>
  7. Delete the recovery partition (Careful! This statement would delete the partition). 
    delete partition override
  8. Validate partition is deleted successfully 
    list partition
