I need to free up as much space as possible on my hdd. I have the following partitions seen below:
disk management pic The 5th partition in particular is called: 13.96 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition).
What are the consequences of deleting this partition and combining it into C? Does it just mean I can't restore to factory settings? Or will it destroy my ability to backup the system using an externally stored system image? I don't have any boot disks or anything for this laptop, its a lenovo ideapad 510p. I have multiple backups made with lenovo's One Key Recovery (OKR). I don't know if I will lose functionality or not with OKR or my ability to use my backups. OKR was on my D drive but I moved it to my C drive and combined D to C for space, so maybe I'm good and everything is separate?
Again I am not concerned about losing the ability to factory reset, I have many backups on external drives, particularly one of it right when I got it.
