Product: HP 15-ac087nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP 15-ac087nl notebook and I have to do a system recovery restoring to factory setting my notebook . Here is a screenshot of my the current partition table.

I'd like to know if to restore successfully I need to keep only the RECOVERY (22,55 GB) partition and I can delete all other partitions on my disk. Or I have to keep other partitions?

If you are using the recovery media that you should have created by now, it will be done autonomously by the recovery manager with the type of Recovery that you choose.

 

If you haven't created a usb recovery flash drive yet, do it now before you even consider performing a recovery.

I created the usb recovery flash drive, but I need to know if deleting all partitions except HP Recovery partition can prevent recovery process run successfully.

It shouldn't  matter. It is better not to make any partition changes.

 

If you are performing a factory image recovery the recovery partition will be recreated by the recovery process.
