So I’ve really enjoyed Manjaro and am gonna wipe windows 10 from my hard drive to make space. I’ve stored everything I need from my windows 10 partiton, gonna back up my manjaro drive just be play it safe too. The question is, which windows partitions do I delete?
I see a handful of partitions from disk management:
From what I can tell online, the EFI partition is mostly essential, it can be removed and replaced but that’s unnecessary. The C drive I have every intention of deleting. 96Gb are dedicated to Manjaro and are staying. It’s the final 3 recovery partitions that I’m stumped by. Are these strictly for Windows and free for deletion? Or do they provide some useful backup feature in case I brick my OS? There doesn’t seem to be much information out there about these so I’m refraining from touching them til I know it’s safe.
Can anyone help me out and explain what I can and can’t delete?
These 2 must stay, anything else is related to windows.
Also resizing, moving the root partition should be done in a live session. Possible the UUID will change then./etc/fstab needs to be updated accordingly, or give both partitions proper names and set LABEL=name instead of UUID=1234567890.
