I have an MSI laptop that came with:
- a) an SSD with the Win boot partition + the Win 10 OS partition, and
- b) an HDD with an empty partition + a Win10 OEM (hidden) recovery partition
I installed Ubuntu on the HDD for testing purposes, and then I deleted it. It has left behind an UEFI hidden partition (the Ubuntu boot partition) on the HDD. I want to delete such UEFI partition, but the Win Disk Management tool does not offer the option - it is grayed out. Googling around found a method that works: running "Disk Part" from the Win command prompt. The issue with that method is that it deletes whole disks, which I don't want to do, as I don't want to lose the OEM recovery partition.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.
