    Hi

    Used diskpart to delete Recovery Partition win 11 22h2
    everything worked, after it was done, in disk management got unalocated space about 900mb
    tried to extend volume and everything worked thing is that after it finished
    no free space was added to drive C:/
    as if that unalocted space just dissapeared and i wonder why?

    any advice ?

    thanks

    Try to check with a third party disk manager.

    Have you tried on Paragon Hard Disk Manager or DiskGenius or AOMEI or Active@ Partition Recovery and Active@ KillDIsk?

    Just to confirm, have you disabled the recovery partition in Windows?
    reagentc /disable /target C:\Windows
