can't merege drives of same SSD to one drive.

Hi.
I have a Nvme SSD that is 500GB. It has 2 drives, C and D. I cant delete D and expand C because there are small drives in between that can't be erased. How can I get over this problem and merge C into the entire drive?
Attached is a snapshot. Windows 11 home.
Thanks!

first step

at admin cmd prompt type:

reagentc /disable
(then press enter)

Done.

those unwanted parts appear to be 3,4 and 5. But there mignt be a tiny msr part that isnt shown in diskmgmt.

so check using

admin cmd prompt type:
diskpart
(then press enter)
sel dis 0
(then press enter)
lis par
(then press enter)
now you know which numbers those partitions are

you can delete them like this: ( replce # with the partition number )

sel par #
(then press enter)
delete partition override
(then press enter)

Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 System 650 MB 1024 KB
Partition 2 Reserved 128 MB 651 MB
Partition 3 Primary 223 GB 779 MB
Partition 4 Recovery 872 MB 224 GB
Partition 5 Recovery 12 GB 225 GB
Partition 6 Recovery 1109 MB 237 GB
Partition 7 Primary 227 GB 238 GB

make sure there is nothing you want to keep before deleting the partitions. the 12gb might have oem recovery image on it

C is partition 3 and D is partition 7

it is 4, 5, and 6 you want to delete

you can delete them in diskpart one at a time like this: ( replace # with the partition number )

sel par #
(then press enter)
delete partition override
(then press enter)

I can't select it.

DISKPART> sel par 4

There is no disk selected to set the partition.
Select a disk and try again.

diskpart
(then press enter)
sel dis 0
(then press enter)
sel par 4
(then press enter)
delete partition override
(then press enter)
sel par 5
(then press enter)
delete partition override
(then press enter)
sel par 6
(then press enter)
delete partition override
(then press enter)

You are a genius. Solved everything, I now have 1 C drive at full capacity. Thanks!

now do
admin cmd prompt:
reagentc /enable

that is to put winre back on the F8 key and allow access to the full the system recovery options instead of just the limited options in bootux.
