Recovery Image REMOVE

 

Hello, I need help with my computer.

I recently start to using hp Window 8. Before I used this, my father was using it. 

He has been using it for six months and l formatted the computer.

But somehow ---- Recovery image (D:)  has not been removed.

As I found out that Recovery image is covered 17GB and it affecting my free space.

 

I like to delete all data about Recovery image without affecting other files.

 

Please help me.

 

Thank you

I recommend the use of a third-party tool known as Minitool Partition Wizard. This is a free partitioning tool and you should download their Boot CD ISO file to a local drive.

You can download the tool from here: https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

You can get an ISO file from here: http://downloads.tomsguide.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Bootable-CD,0301-51034.html

Once you have this, you have a choice of media to create:
1) If you can boot from CD, download and install ImgBurn and use the Write Image to Disk option to create a bootable CD.
2) If you can boot from USB, download and install RUFUS and use the option to create a bootable USB stick from the ISO file.

Boot your PC with the media you created. You should now be able to do partition changes without problems.

Good Luck
