    1. It is a Dell factory restore partition, if you ever want to wipe the drive and start over you use F8 at the Dell splash screen at startup to use the factory restore.

    "can i delete this pratition is it advisable to do so"

    You can, but you can never return to the original Dell factory installed OS.
