Hard Drive Partitions???

[xanderxxz]

Hi, recently reinstalled windows and reformatted my primary hard drive to GPT. Everything has worked fine except that it seems to have created some annoying partitions in doing so. On the drive it has a 300mb partition called Healthy(recovery partition), a 450mb partition called the same thing, and a 100mb partition called healthy(efi system partition).

Can i delete these, are they used by the system for something, and if i can delete them is there a way to merge them with my main partition without reinstalling windows.

any help would be much appreciated

Unsurprisingly they are there for a reason, leave well alone.
