Is There Any Way to Delete Recovery Partition in Windows 7?

How can I remove the Windows 7 recovery partition from my Dell computer? There are two problems: first, the recovery partition must be transferred to the OS partition since it contains boot components that cannot be erased because it is 'active' and cannot be destroyed. Thanks a lot.

Yes, it's possible to delete the recovery partition in Windows 7. As we know, the recovery partition can restore the Windows 7 system when the system crashes. Thus, you'd better think twice and back up the whole drive before taking action. 

There are two forms of the Windows recovery partition: one is automatically made during the OS installation, and another is called OEM partition, which is preinstalled in your internal HDD by manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell, and Asus. The OEM partition will take up some of your disk space as it contains many boot files. 

Test If Your Recover Partition Is Healthy

You can only remove the recovery partition when it is healthy. Here is how you can detect if it's healthy:

  • Input Disk Management in the start research box or press "Windows + X" to launch it.
  • Locate your recovery partition and check if its status is healthy.
