The partition is around 100 megs total with 25 megs of data is in it. Therefore some data is occasionally written to this reserved area. It was 8% prior to the July 2019 updates. I have the partition called “SYSTEM RESERVED” that had been 0% fragmented for years, but has now slowly crept upwards and is currently at 9% fragmented. I do regular maintenance, cleanup and defragmentation. I like to have my computer in good, “spic & span” shape. PKCano, Microfix, Abbodi86, and NoelC, Canadian Tech, could you give this some thought? Becausethe boot loader files are stored on it, Windows won't bootproperly if you delete this partition.Hello, I would like to have some of the Askwoody MVPs and posters take a look at this and maybe come up with an answer. You can't just delete the System Reserved partition, though. It may be possible to remove a System Reservedpartition after installing Windows. Is it safe to delete system reserved partition? Windows usuallydoesn't assign a drive letter to System Reserved partition,so you'll only see it when you open Disk Management or similarutility. System Reserved partition is a partitionwhich locates before the system partition (normally the C:drive) when you clean install Windows 7/8/10.



The System Reserved partition ismandatory if you use BitLocker-or want to use it in thefuture. Most people never notice they havea System Reserved partition unless they fire up disk toolsfor other reasons. Windows hides the partition by default instead ofcreating a drive letter for it.
