I just clean installed windows 10 because my system drive (C:) always ends up filled with leftover files, temp files, and more. I thought I'd extend it from 76GB to 100GB, but noticed three recovery partitions blocking the way. I'm not really experienced with disks and partitions, I'm pretty sure I almost bricked my pc while installing windows. After some google searches apparently I can brick my pc if I'm not careful with these recovery partitions, but I'm not sure. I looked at some videos and kind of got the gist of it, but when I check what partition my recovery agent (or whatever it's called) is sitting, it says "disk 1, partition 3" [Photo 1], which would mean it's sitting in the drive my actual windows is installed [Photo 2].

Some more if it helps somehow
Forgot to mention exactly what I want: I want to remove all recovery partitions so I can then make my C drive 100GB and then re-add only one recovery partition
Ideally you'd set the size before Windows was installed, you need 3rd party tools to merge the unused 369GB
Sidenote: your disk 0 is unused
Yeah I know, I did that myself
Before I fiddled with that every disk was fully used
disk 0 was disk d and the 369gb was disk e
i wanna take away from some of disk e and add it to c, i understand that i need a 3rd party tool but could you recommend a specific one and go into a little more detail please?
i was thinking of doing it directly through cmd and the partition app
since i've seen it done on youtube, but with only one recovery partition, not 3 of them, making it much easier
