I wouldnt delete the partition if I were you. Cause soon you might want to sell your laptop and some buyers want to have the original OS. But if you have a back up in DVD, then you may delete the volume.. If you really want to delete so you have more space, you can just right click on it then delete the volume then you can use right click menu on the C-drive and use the extend function .... Beware that after you delete and merge it, you cant undo it again ... Good Luck!

you will have to use DiskPart to delete it. Since the partition is BEFORE your Windows partition, you will not be able to extend (add) the size to your existing partition containing Windows. Looking at the picture, the recovery partition seems to be empty, so your recovery image seems to have been deleted anyway.
