#Combine unallocated partitions macrium reflect 7 update#

So.i'm thinking that they are safe to delete, although both of them have used space for something. I noticed that both #3 (Other - Reserved Partition) & #5 (NTFS - Recovery Partition) have status of 'None' as does the unallocated space. I know MiniTool offers the option to delete the MSR - but not sure of the consequences, perhaps none, I do have a complete disk image on hand - unless someone more knowledgeable speaks up on deleting MSR, maybe I could give it a try, for what that's worth, and report back on it? Then I found that my MSR (immediately to left of C: partition) has no move option -soooo.

UPDATE - I wanted to check on what I claimed above and, since I have some 47 GB unallocated to the right of my C: partition (over-provisioning for my SSD), I slid C: to the right by about 1 GB. Although others may differ in opinion, I wouldn't myself do more than move the MSR. There's nothing in the MSR either but that space is reserved for future use as part of the GUID partition standard.

The gaps you describe are naturally unmovable since they contain nothing. I'm not aware of any prohibition against simply moving any of the allocated partitions you have. Then resize the C: partition to fill the remaining 1.03 GB of unallocated space.

Then move the recovery partition all the way to the right (or down). I haven't had an exactly comparable situation but, ONLY AFTER I have made a complete disk image (I use Macrium Reflect, and have both a bootable rescue DVD and bootable rescue USB HDD) to external media, I would move all three: the ESP (aka EFI), Reserved (aka MSR), and C: partitions left (or up) to the amount corresponding to the 609.98 MB unallocated space.
