Using EaseUS Partition Master – the Home Edition is available free of charge – it is possible to delete unwanted partitions and resize those that remain to occupy the remaining space. Equally, if your computer supplier has included their own recovery partition or a partition containing other tools and utilities, you can still wipe out the partition.

This is less about claiming back space and more about having a sensible restoration option available to you in the case worst should happen, but there is no harm in putting disk space to better use.īut if you have already created recovery media without deleting the recovery partition, all is not lost. You can use our previous guide to creating recovery media and select the option to delete the recovery partition at the end of this process. Just as is advisable to store backups away from the rest of your data, so it is not necessarily the best idea to store recovery data on the same partition as Windows itself – if your hard drive fails, you’re going to be left searching for a way to get everything reinstalled.
