can I remove Partition 1 ?

What's the point?
It's not like you can use those 529MB.

the point is if there are 2 partitions not be used i like to get the space back

In the context of a 250GB drive, that partition consumes 0.2%.

And if you do go down this path, any manipulation of partitions needs to have a full drive backup before you start. Just in case.


Personally, I'd leave it until the next time you want to do a full wipe and reinstall, or other use of this drive.

That requires huge amount of work with moving partitions around (or full reinstall) for zero gain.
Forget about it. Not worth it.
