Extra partitions created after restore

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I’ve just done a restore with Acronis 2018 using restore and universal restore. 

Everything went well, however I have the following two partitions in addition to disk manager:

1) A 27.24GB unallocated partition. This partition sits separately in disk manager as Disk 0.

2) A 1.31GB allocated partition that sits with the 100MB EFI System Partition and the C: partition. These partitions sit together in disk manager as Disk 1. This allocated 1.31GB partition also shows up as G: drive in My Computer.

In restore I selected the following partitions:

a. NTFS (unlabeled) (C) - Flags=Pri

b. MBR and Track 0

c. NTFS (unlabeled) - Flags=Pri,Act

d. Recovery Partition - Flags=Pri

Does anyone have an idea on how to delete the 27.4GB unallocated Partition and the 1.31GB active Partition showing up as a drive?

Thanks

Am I correct in assuming that the PC is booting up without issue? 

First thing I would do is to confirm there is no content on drive G before deleting it. The unallocated partition should not be an issue. 

You could try deleting the partitions with Windows Disk Management App, but as you may need to do some drive resizing, you may be better off using a dedicated disk management utility such as Acronis Disk Manger or the free version of MiniTool partition manager. I have needed to use a dedicated disk manager when strange things like this happen.
