Windows creates an extra Disk Partition [Fix]

Mar 2, 2022
Windows 11/10 introduced many new features and improved upon existing ones. However, many users reported that it created an extra OEM or Recovery partition, which is basically a WinRE partition. These partitions cannot be deleted straight away since they have a logical drive letter assigned to them. This surplus partition is visible in the File Explorer and Disk Management and occupies disk space (at least virtually). In certain cases, the system starts with a notification that the disk is full. Moreover, upon checking Disk utilization in the Task Manager, you may find that it is almost nearing 100%, thus slowing down the system. Here are a few fixes and suggestions: 1] Hide the logical drive 2] Using third-party software to delete it 3] Use Diskpart 4] Remove the MountPoint Timecodes: 0:00 INTRO 0:30 USING DISKPART 1:28 USING MOUNTPOINT 1:54 THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE 2:07 OUTTRO
