Reinstall Windows 11

I am reinstalling Windows 11 on a Dell Vostro 5481 Laptop from a USB using Windows 11 Installation Media.  I am on the screen “Where do you want to install Windows”.  I need to know which partitions to delete before selecting “Drive 0 Unallocated Space” to install Windows.  These are the partitions that are shown:

   Name                                                 Total size     Free spa...              Type

Drive 0 Partition 1:ESP                       650.0 MB    566.0 MB              System

Drive 0 Partition 2                                128.0 MB    128.0 MB              MSR (Reser

Drive 0 Partition 3                                224.4 GB     224.4 GB               Primary

Drive 0 Partition 4: WINRETOOLS    990.0 MB    274.0 MB              Recovery

Drive 0 Partition 5: Image                    11.2 GB       184.0 MB              Recovery

Drive 0 Partition 6: DELLSUPPORT  1.1 GB         337.0 MB              Recovery

Drive 0 Unallocated Space                   16.0 MB      16.0 MB

 

Do I delete only Partitions 1, 2 and 3 or is it necessary to delete all 6 Partitions before reinstalling Windows 11?

    Bom dia. Aconselho vc nao fazer essa atualizacao, porque o Vostro 5481 esta com problemas no drive de leitura da biometria o que fara seu Windows 11 ficar na tela preta e nao deixara logar. Realizei o procedimento 3 x  com acompanhamento da DELL e Microsoft e a solucao passada é de devo aguardar uma nova atualizacao da DELL ou MS.
