The reason most things suggest downloading something in this instance is that deleting your recovery partition is a horrible idea. It’s going to mess with your windows booting, and now if you ever have a hiccup while upgrading your storage, you won’t be able to get your data back. In this one case, having some sort of third party software to be able to merge your unallocated space with your C drive is highly recommended unless you don’t mind losing all of your data.

Awesome! Questions: 1. Do you not now need to change the last partition into a Recovery Partition? 2. I have a 2TB SSD which I have just cloned leaving a 1.4TB unallocated partition, I want my system to work at it's best. what size would you suggest is the best break for the 3 partitions?

Whenever I deleted the volumes, I would end up with 2 separate Unallocated chunks of memory... I followed your video and it worked perfectly!! Thanks again!!
You are literally a life saver bro thank you so much. I was literally going to buy paid software and all the other free tutorials did not work and in last minute hopes I found you!
If you don't have a solution, then don't provide misleading content. It can harm someone. This action could delete the entire D drive, where someone might have important documents. Guys, please report such TH-cam channels; they are just fooling people.
THANK YOU! I had some old partition next to my C: drive (not the recovery partition) that couldn't be removed through the GUI and was blocking me from extending. Great guide and very nice to not have to download some 3rd party app.
for anyone who was stuck on the extending c drive video, I'm not sure if this is gonna work for everyone but I basically deleted the local drive d volume AND partition and manage to be able to extend local disk c, just right click on local drive d agian and select delete partition then extend local disk c, then some stuff will pop up and I just kept saying yes and finish. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE. I can't gurantee if it will work for everyone
but /e is a self disk its not really in my location where c is its somewhere else where i cant access it so basically even if i try this nothing will happen.
Amazing tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for. I had to delete the Recovery Partition before I could extend the so called primary/C: drive. Cheers and thanks.
Unable to delete partition 4 , is showing delete is not allowed on the current boot, system, page file, crash dump or hibernation volume… please help me to delete
thanks - cloned to a newer drive and couldn't extend, this fixed it. Too bad Windows won't let you extend without needing to delete the recovery partition.
I need one help, win 11 it says no audio output but its a drivers issue as before update display scaling sckd but audio was working, night light feature was working too. After update display scaling n resolution is perfect but night light feature n audio output was working. Im using hdmi on a tv, audio via hdmi only. Please help if anyone knows
Thank you so much! After cloning a small boot disk to a larger disk, the resulting boot drive was the size of the source disk, which means I was still running out of space on it. I followed your directions and they worked perfectly. I now have a boot drive with plenty of space!

Finally found the way to extend that C drive. I had a recovery partition in the way. THANKS!
what are the losses of deleting recovery partition ? and how can we create recovery partition again
1. If your computer breaks, you cannot go to recovery mode.
2. There is no way that I know of right now.

If you have a d drive or something else or don't want to delete your recovery just use paragon partition manager only thing is that it takes some time
Indian tech teachers are the best

Turns out, first deleted "New Volume" using CMD. Good video, thank you sir👍🏼
Works perfectly, to anyone who has more than one recovery you need to delete all of them before u can extend
But my d drive isn’t on the c drive like in the video and even after I delete the volume the extend button is still gray out
