We've all been there – running out of storage space. Recovery partitions take up a lot of room on your hard drive, but what if you could move it to the end of the disk to free up some space? In this article, we'll show you how to safely move the recovery partition to the end of your disk using a tool called Partition Wizard.

Can I move the recovery partition to the end of the disk?

Yes, you can move the recovery partition to the end of the disk. This way, you can extend your C drive and utilize the unallocated space on the drive, helping you free up space on your computer.

Built-in Windows tools like Diskpart and Disk Management do not have the ability to move volumes, allowing you to relocate partitions within a disk. Therefore, you need a reliable third-party tool to move the recovery partition to the end of the disk.

How to Move the Recovery Partition to the End of the Disk

3. To move a partition, you need unallocated space next to it. If there isn't any, free some up first.

Right-click the partition you want to move and select “Resize/Move.” Drag the entire partition to the left or right to adjust its position, then click “OK” to confirm.

Third, verify the results and apply the changes.
