Is it safe to delete my partitions on my Surface Pro 3 and reinstall Windows 10
I have upgraded my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 10 and found that I am very low on storage space. After through disk manager, I have found that I have 2 Healthy Recovery Partitions (one which takes 360MB and another taking 5,27GB. I have a healthy EFI System Partition of another 200MB and then what's left of my C drive (around 54GB). I also found a bunch of folders hidden in my C drive which are related to the upgrade to windows 10 which I don't think are needed anymore.
What I have decided to do is to clear my entire C drive which means removing all the partitions and reinstalling windows 10. I have my product key handy and created a bootable USB of type FAT32 with a win10 installer created from the Windows Media Creation Tool.
If I clear my C drive as mentioned, I understand that it will create a recovery partition on it's own. I would like to confirm this. Also, is there anything else that I should be aware of? Finally, is there any way to identity which of the recovery partitions belongs to Windows 10?
