Hi, I was recently looking at my drives in Macrium Reflect and noticed that there are 7 partitions. As I am not aware of what should be there, I thought I would ask for advice but I don’t remember there being so many before.
In the image attached I have marked C drive in case the image is difficult to see.
I do clone my drives, could this be connected? Thanks.

Can you take another screen shot and upload it again. It is really blurry and impossible to read.
Cloning a drive is not going to create more partitions. A clone is a complete copy of a drive to a separate drive.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have increased the resolution. Is this better?

Gday.
Here is an explanation of why you may have more than one Recovery partition.

Hi, thanks for that. So it seems it is not really a problem, though it does make you wonder why Microsoft did it that way.
I'll probably leave things as they are for now, but am I correct in thinking from what I read that the three recovery partitions to the right of C drive are in fact redundant? I also wonder why the first recovery partition didn't use the C drive to expand into. Either way I see that it is not really a fault which was my concern.
