Hi everyone, how can I remove or shrink my recovery partition so I can free up space? The right-click menu just shows "Help" instead of options. Let me know if you need guidance!

You can remove it via disk part in the command prompt, but I wouldn't because I believe the OS depends on it for operation. Deleting it might likely cause Windows corruption.

It’s likely you can skip it because it isn’t a standard Windows layout but often found on OEM devices from companies like Dell or HP. The issue is that Windows drives only expand outward, so adding a large file like 15.08GB to C: might not work without the 990MB gap in between.
