Another option, within Windows, is to use a third-party program like EaseUs Partition Master.
How to Delete EFI (System) Partition in Windows [2 Ways] - EaseUS (see Method 2)
Unfortunately, I am running out of options. If EaseUs does not help, there is only one alternative I know of that guaranteed helps, erasing all data on the disk. Prior that I will ask others for options if EaseUs does not help.
For all these days I kept postponing on trying EaseUS as I wasn't facing BSOD any more.
Yesterday I faced it again. I created a bootable USB disk of EaseUS Partition Master and booted it.
When I right click on the two partitions that I want to delete, I don't get any options. All the other partitions give me options.
What do I do now?
If the right click doesn't show what is shown in the screenshot below (note where it right clicks) and in the tutorial linked to earlier, you could always try other similar software (e.g. Partition Wizard), but if that doesn't work either the only other last resort would be to clean/wipe the drive.
I see! I'll try again, and with partition wizard as well. Thanks a lot for your consistent support.
Okay. So I rebooted again using the bootable disk created by partition master.
Turns out the 1GB recovery volume is not showing up in the list..
I tried minitool partition wizard and I don't get an option in it either. I only get an option to convert it to basic.
I think the main trouble is that my D drive (930GB , SATA) is dynamic volume which is making it impossible to delete the partition.
