So I had previously posted about several issues I had with W11. I ended up just resetting my system and it seems to have reinstalled W11. When I look in Disk Management I several Health Partitions that were created. Not sure what I can or cannot delete.
One can have 3 to 5 partitions created by Windows on the only drive in the system, sometimes depends on whether an upgrade over a previous version or a clean install. I leave them alone as long as the computer is working. In your case I'd leave Disk 0 alone, and could remove the first and third partitions on Disk 1 but they are small and should be no issue. The Disk 2 appears to be a USB Thumb drive. For Disk 1, if like mine it's a data storage drive and I wiped those clean and create a single partition. A second drive shouldn't be connected during install of Windows.
You have the extra partitions because of the way the drives were partitioned. With partitioning, one needs to understand the differences in GPT and MBR before a drive is partitioned.
MBR is an older partition style which has limits on the number of partitions that can be created on the disk. GPT is a new replacement partition style that doesn't have limits on the disk size and the number of partitions you can create. The EFI and Recovery partitions you see on GPT disks in disk management are not normally visible in file explorer as they are assigned no drive letter so the only time you see them is in disk management.
Your post does not make it clear to me what you want to accomplish by messing with your partition tables.
Both internal drives are partitioned GPT. The system drive disk 0 is GPT and should be. This is done by the windows installation process. Its Recovery partition can be removed but don't mess with it on your system disk 0 unless you're prepared give up OS recovery options from within Windows 11. If you remove the EFI partition on disk 0, windows will not boot.
The 685 MB Recovery partition on disk 1 can be deleted, but the amount of disk space you would gain is minute so you really gain nothing by doing so.To remove the EFI partition on disk 1 the disk would have to be converted from GPT to MBR.
