Can I Delete the Healthy Recovery Partition From Old Operating System?

After purchasing an M.2 drive, I set up Windows on it. I didn't remove the old HDD from the PC. Right now, I want to format the old disk. The Recovery Partition cannot be deleted using Disk Management, even though I could remove the System and Main partitions.

Removing a recovery partition can be an effective way to free up valuable disk space on your computer's hard drive. However, it is essential to consider the implications of permanently losing the ability to restore your system to its factory settings. Thus, the Windows system abandons users to remove the healthy partition by making the delete volume greyed out.

EaseUS Partition Master can perfectly meet your requirements by safely removing a recovery partition from your old Operating System for free. If you have made the complete backup, this step-by-step guide will help you remove the healthy partition:
