This is what my system looks like:

Over the years, my OS has grown to seven partitions. Aren't some of these unnecessary? I assume I must have messed with something in the past to cause it?
I keep my OS partition lean. No windows.old, & and always conduct a Windows update cleanup, eliminating everything else related to recovery (I use Macrium). System Restore disabled.
Can I clean this up?
How to Post a Screenshot of Disk Management please do this. It looks like you have too many recovery partitions. Wait for further guidance before trying to delete any.
I would suggest making a full backup of your boot drive Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect in the meantime and make a MR Rescue USB too.
Run
Then delete all of the recovery partitions.Code:reagentc /disable
After disabling Recovery and deleting all Recovery partitions, you can use Minitool Partition to move partitions 2, 3 and 4 to the left and expand the C: partition to the right.
Then you can enable Recovery again by running
Your partition image only shows around 62G of a 931G drive. What is on the other partitions?Code:reagentc /enable

Using the MiniTool Partition Wizard, after deleting the recovery partitions, and extending the C:\ partition

Everything works fine, but, I was still left with that unallocated 213mb section. Since it not adjacent to the C:\ partition, I don't know how to add it to C:\
Attachment 357128
Can I get some help with that?
The only option I'm given is the E:\ partition. That 16mb partition separates C:\ from the unallocated 213mb space. I tried to find a way to move either partition so they would be adjacent to each other, but if there is a way using Minitool Partition Wizard, I can't find it.

Can you move unallocated space just to the right of C: first, then try expand into unallocated space?
