I have a 16gb Windows 8 tablet and I would like to remove the recovery partition to save space (as you know 16gb on windows is impossibly difficult to manage)
I have followed all other help that I can find online which usually relates to creating a windows recovery USB using the built in windows recovery tool, and at the end of that process there is supposed to be an option to delete the originally recovery partition. I get no such option.
In addition disk manager provides no option for editing that partition other then 'Help'
Now I have a third party utilitiy which I can use to repartition from a boot manager, however it is at this point that I am hesitant to proceed.
How vitally important is the recovery partition? If I remove it in this way am I in any danger of completely destroying my machine. I really need the space but I don't want to brick this tablet.
