This is new on me. I've just got my SSD as my main OS drive, no partitions, just 100% C:\.

However, when putting a few old 500GB HDD's in today to find some data, I realised My SSD is about 1.2GB short due to these partitions.

The two 450mb partitions only show "Help" when right clicked, the smaller partition can be edited as normal.

How can I claim my hard drive back from W10 doing it's own thing :confused::D

Thanks,

I'm a perfectionist.

Plus, 1.35GB, that's at least 1.35GB worth of Steam crap to fill up.
 
As a perfectionist, you shouldn't mess with the partitions that Microsoft created for a reason. :)

Also, that System Reserved partition shouldn't have a drive letter assigned to it.
 
This is what confuses me.

This is a brand new build, I literally installed W10 and a few weeks later plug in a whole load of HDD's I had lying around to get the stuff off them and I found this.

I can't see why they are there, they are not storing anything? I assume I can only un-partition by formatting?
 
While you are at it, did you find all those random files you didn't put there in the c:\windows\system32 directory? I'm sure you could save at least 1GB if you deleted them! ;)
 
Thanks Rotor, makes sense now. I'll have to work out why one of them have been given the drive letter G:, but that's a minor detail.

Rtho782, can I do this quicker by formatting C: I hear that makes your computer faster?

Click to expand...
Just right-click on it and select Change Drive Letter and Paths and then remove the letter.
