I want to extend my system partition, but the healthy recovery partition is in the way, which means there is no adjacent partition to my system partition. How can I remove the healthy recovery partition so that I can extend my drive? Appreciate for any help!
You'll need a professional disk partition management tool to remove the healthy recovery partition.
The healthy recovery partition is used for system restoration. Thus, it is protected by Windows, which means you are banned from deleting or formatting it. Since you cannot remove the partition with Disk Management, I would like to recommend EaseUS Partition Master Professional.
This reliable tool has the ability to bypass Windows restrictions and allows you to delete the healthy recovery partition in a few clicks.
Step 1. Open EaseUS Partition Master and select the recovery partition.
Step 2. Choose "Delete" and confirm the warning.
Step 3. Click "Execute Task" > "Apply" to start removing the recovery partition.
It is important to note that once you remove the healthy recovery partition, you cannot access the Windows Recovery Environment to repair errors if any disaster happens on your system. But you can check the following page to learn how to create a bootable media so that you can fix issues if there's an error on your computer.
