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:
- If there are backup options (eg snapshot, etc.) perhaps take a proper backup before proceeding
- Open "cmd" as Administrator
- Run disk partitioning utility:
- diskpart
- Select appropriate disk where recovery partition is present (often disk 0)
- list disk
- select disk 0
- List partition and see which partition is recovery partition
- list partition
- Select the recovery partition
- select partition <n>
- Delete the recovery partition (Careful! This statement would delete the partition).
- delete partition override
- Validate partition is deleted successfully
- list partition
