Deleting or expanding a partition

[dsgrnmcm]

Morning,

so after eventually migrating my data / OS. But being bit of a , I have created 2 partitions and using:

Samsung magician
Mini tool
Windows disk management

I can not merge them, delete the empty one. I want to delete the "Recovery Partition" and merge it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You need to delete the partition to convert it to free/unallocated space & then expand the C partiion to the right - note you can only expand a partion rightwards into free space.

I suspect Macrium will allow you to do it but Windows Disk Management should work.

Hi Mr Pointy,

Thank you for the reply, Tried both but they will not even highlight or give me the option.

For basic partioning jobs Partition Master from EaseUS has been my "go to" software for many years

There's a free (not trial) version which has always done everything I've needed with no issues:
