Removing the HP Recovery partition
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to remove the HP Recovery partition to free up hard drive
space.
IMPORTANT: Removing the HP Recovery partition means you can no longer use Windows Refresh,
the Windows Remove everything and reinstall Windows option, or the HP Recovery Manager option
for minimized image recovery. Create HP Recovery media before removing the Recovery partition to
ensure you have recovery options; see
Creating HP Recovery media on page 65.
Follow these steps to remove the HP Recovery partition:
1. From the Start screen, type recovery, and then select HP Recovery Manager.
2. Select Remove Recovery Partition, and follow the on-screen instructions to continue.
