Randomly generated partitions?

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:

Thanks,

I'm a perfectionist.

Plus, 1.35GB, that's at least 1.35GB worth of Steam crap to fill up.

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?

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?
