Recovery Partition in the way to extend the c drive

Solution:
    Disable the existing Windows Recovery Partition by running reagentc /disable

    Use diskpart to remove the recovery partition

    list disk

    select disk # where # is the disk needing the recovery partition removed

    list partition

    select partition # where # is the recovery partition

    delete partition override to force deletion of the recovery partition

    Expand the disk using Disk Management, leaving ~1024 MB at the end of the drive for recreating the recovery partition

    Create New Simple Volume for Recovery, NTFS, no drive letter

    use diskpart to set the recovery partition attributes

    list partition

    select partition # where # is the new recovery partition

    For GPT disks run set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac & gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001

    For MBR disks, run set id=27

    Re-enable the recovery partition by running reagentc /enable
