It's safe to delete the efi partion, the recovery partition I don't think is from Linux.

#

You can't extend the c: because there are other partitions in the way

#

That's just the nature of storage

vague vault
#

right??

tepid belfry
#

No

#

Just disk 0 partition 4

#

The other efi is used by Windows

vague vault
#

and as u can see, I can't delete partition 4.. options are disabled

@tepid belfry

Windows doesn't create 1GB efi partitions

vague vault

#

I don't think the Arch install does either, I assume you made it manully.

vague vault
#

how to delete it btw? since the options aren't available

tepid belfry
#

You can use other software or if you're comfortable with the command line, you can use diskpart

vague vault
#

tell me with diskpart pls

#

I once tried.. basically I was asking for help in arach linux server but

#

it didn't worked

#

maybe because they don't enough regarding windows

#

so i came here for the help

tepid belfry
#

First start diskpart by typing it in command prompt

vague vault
#

yes then

tepid belfry
#

list vol

vague vault
#

then

tepid belfry
#

Find the efi volume number that's 1GB then select it by
sel vol 4 (for example)

vague vault
#

okk

#

now

#

what to do

tepid belfry
#

del vol

vague vault
#

didn't work

tepid belfry
#

del vol force

vague vault
#

didn't work

#

not valid command

tepid belfry
#

del vol override

vague vault
#

successful now

#

anything next?

#

tell me one more thing

tepid belfry
#

That should be it, just type exit

#

And press enter

tepid belfry
vague vault
#

one more thing

#

wtf is this Z:/

#

when i was asking for help in arch linux server.. they told me some command to create it

#

since then its visible

#

before that It was never visible.. like I have been using windows for many years

#

and its kinda annoying 😅 to see it daily

#

its content

That looks like the Windows boot partition

vague vault
#

Oh

tepid belfry
#

Very weird that the drive letter doesn't show up in the partition software

vague vault
#

yes

#

basicallly they told me to choose a partition letter.. and then it was done

tepid belfry
#

It's difficult to know how to fix it without know the command used

vague vault
#

ahm I can tell

#

wait let me check in that server

tepid belfry
#

Idk why they'd tell you to do hacky stuff when it's trivial to add a drive letter, even to a system partion

vague vault
#

see this

#

@tepid belfry

#

they told to unmount it when I asked the same question.. that its anooying to see etc.

#

first they told that.. it will go by itself after reboot but it didn't happened

#

mountvol /p Z:

#

and this command also didn't worked

tepid belfry
#

Did it work?

vague vault
#

No

tepid belfry
#

Try both, one after the other
mountvol Z: /d
mountvol /R

vague vault

thanks
