which recovery partition should i delete?

[fulton14]

i have one recovery drive of 14.19gb on my windows 10. besides there are 3 unnamed partitions of sizes 650mb 260mb and 848mb. out of these 260mb partition is EFI system partition and other 2 are recovery partition. And my recovery drive is OEM partition. That 848mb partition is allotted after C drive and i m unable to expand my C drive since my C drive is low on memmory. Also all drives are healthy and basic and unable to delete by disk management. Which partitions can I safely remove so that i can expand my C drive? Solutions ll be helpful. thankyou

Those partition sizes won't yield much room for storage. either replace the HDD with something larger (Make a clone) or add a second drive the pc as a slave

50gb +14.19gb+ 650mb +260mb and +848mb= roughly 66gb Where is the rest of the 500gb (460gb usable)
400gb on the platter not being partitioned or formatted. Start pc with Partition magic in dos( boot from cd with Partition magic in cd drive) and Delete the 650mb + 260mb partitions , resize drive c, adding unformatted unused space( + 650mb+260mb+400gb unformatted). *848mb leave that alone as windows may be using this for cache /system which is why disk manager would not let you alter.
Me i would backup wanted stuff and wipe all partitions then make two partitions ,C: Primary 430gb + D: Recovery 30gb and start again with windows install because yours is messy. With win 10 fully loaded + drivers etc do the recovery backup to D:

I would delete them all and reinstall your OS and reformat yourDrive, or you can search individually each of them, if you find any that say windows.old you know you can delete them.

1.Click Start > Run and type “CMD”, pressing Enter should open a new terminal.
2.We need to next start the Disk Part tool, type “DISK PART” into the Command Line and press Enter.

3.Next let’s display and identify which volume we would like to format. Type “list volume” and press Enter. You should see a list of available volumes. Identify the one which you wish to format, be careful selecting the wrong volume will spell disaster!
4.Type “select volume <x>” and press Enter, where <x> is the volume you wish to focus on.
5.Type “clean” and press Enter. This removes any and all partition or volume formatting from the disk in focus.

6.Type “create partition primary” and press Enter. This creates a primary partition on the current disk. After you create the partition, the focus automatically shifts to the new partition. It is possible to create multiple partitions if you like. To do this you would add the option size=<x> where <x> is the size in megabytes (MB) you would like the partition to be. If no size is specified, like in my example, the partition continues until there is no more unallocated space.
7.Type “format fs=ntfs quick label=test” and press Enter. This will now perform a quick format, using a ntfs file system and labeling the drive “test”. You may wish to use the file system fat32 in place of ntfs if you would like to use the drive with other operating systems.

8.Lastly type “assign letter <x>” and press Enter, where <x> is the letter you would like to assign the drive.
9.You can close the Disk Part tool and Command Prompt using the “exit” command. You should now see your freshly formatted drive in My Computer, ready to use.
