HELP Windows created a huge system reserved partition (35.7 GB) on my SSD

[elliniaaa]

Hello, I own a Sandisk sdssdp-128g-g25 and I cloned my windows install with Easeus.
I have discovered today that Windows created F: (System Reserved) on my SSD that is 35.7GB.
How do I delete the partition or at least reduce the allocated space?

Windows takes a lot of space (30-120 GB) That is probably the space that windows NEEDS to run, It will also expand as you install more software.

It acts as space for booting windows. However, it didn't appear when I first cloned the SSD and it shouldn't take 35 GB when my old HDD install calls for 350MB.

In your older one windows had the memory in different places so that you only saw one thing, Because I have NEVER seen windows stay under 25 GB. so 30 GB should be normal.

It looks odd never had that problem.
How much RAM do you have?
The hibernation and the paging file are each as big as your RAM.
Be sure to set a drive letter for the two files.
But I have never seen Windows make such a large system reserved partition
and I am running Windows 10.
Make a backup and try deleting the large system reserved partition.

I've seen windows take 110 GB before.
