    The hibernation partition is stuck between my main partition and the recovery partition which I would like to get rid of, so I'm wondering if it's easy to restore it if I delete it.

    The Intel Rapid Start setting says that it creates an SSD partition when enabled. Does that mean that I can safely delete it, and after mering my main and recovery partitions I can enable it again and it will automatically recreate the hibernation partition?

    I tried to disable Rapid Start through the Easy Settings application, but that didn't actually delete the partition.

    Once you've disabled rapid start in settings, you can delete the partition in diskpart using the override command. Once you've finished with your other partitions turn rapid start back on in easy settings and it should rebuild the partition. If you get a windows warning while it's rebuilding, just wait.

    FYI, it's probably better to post your questions in the thread for your model # instead of opening a new thread for each issue you have.
