Question Easiest and safest way to delete suplus partition from OS & Programs SSD?

[Imacflier]

Evening, All,

While doing some long overdue disk maintenance, I discovered I have an extra and unwanted partition on the SSD I keep my OS and Programs. There is no data in the partition and it apparently occurred during initial creation so it also appears in all my backups!

I want to eliminate that partition and recover the space to my main partition.

How do I do so?

TIA,

Larry

Depends what the partition is. If it's a Windows installation/boot partition, you don't want to delete that - and Windows won't allow you to natively anyway.

Perhaps post a screenshot of Disk Management showing the problem partition?

Does the new forum software provide a less cumbersome means of posting screenshots?

The partition in question is not the recovery partition, BTW.
