Recovery Drive Partitioning
I currently have two Recovery drives on my Dell Studio 1555 laptop. This happened after I did a system recovery. I wish to delete one or both of the partitions. If I delete both will I be able to set up recovery again, and how? If I only delete one I wish to only delete the one that is not currently in use. One is labeled as "Healthy(System, Active, Primary Partition)" ( I think this one is in use) and the other is labeled as "Healthy (Logical Drive)".
The main reason why I am asking is because I would like some more space and because I am about to delete a Linux partition, which lies on the other side of one of the recovery drives so I would not be able to extend the main partition if the recovery drive is in the way.

Hi Rkara924,
Since I don't believe you actually created a second recovery partition by performing a system recovery, it's impossible to tell what you did. And so it's impossible to offer any advice.
Frankly, you might as well just perform a clean installation of the operating system, and you'll have all the space you need. Had you tried that, you'd be finished by now! :emotion-5:

I went ahead and deleted the non-active partition a few hours ago with no problem, but thank you for the help.
