We can't see enough details to advise you we need to see type and size

Here is the info on the 4 partitions.
The second partition (E) appeared after using Minitools Partition Wizard to set up partitions on an external hard drive. Since which I have local drives I to R which have no size or content. MiniTools say they can do nothing about it.

Disk Management does not see all the partitions

It only hides the MSR partition. We cannot see Drive 0 - you need to drag bottom of window down to enlarge window so we can see all drives.

Hi,
You have 2 system recovery partitions
At least one of them might be able to be removed
Go to this pc and C and see if you have a windows.old folder or a upgrade folder
You might need to show hidden folders files and drives to see it in folder options.

Windows.old was deleted some time ago.
Can I simply delete all the partitions on drive 1 (Internal drive) and re partition it as a single partition.
