Is it possible within Disk Management to merge an empty partition; if there is a boot partition between. For example,
[DriveC][450 meg boot partition][Empty Partition]
I want to merge the Empty Partition with Drive C; while keeping the boot partition ? Can the boot partition be deleted and re-created after the merge ?

Hi,
It is not recommend to delete the recovery partition.
The Windows recovery partition consumes much less storage space. For example, Windows 10 recovery partition only takes about 450MB, and even less in the Windows 8 or 7. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the Windows recovery partition. However, if you really need to get rid of the recovery partition, you can create Windows 10 recovery disk with a USB drive, and then Windows 10 will give you an option to delete the current recovery partition for Windows 10.
There is a guide for you
