Recovery partition blocking extend volume option

Environment: Windows 10

Situation: I had a 1000mb Recovery Partition that was separating the C drive from the unallocated space.

How I got here: I used windows backup and recover to copy a user's machine from a 250gb HD to a 500gb HD. Some users need to keep everything apparently...

Solution:
1.Right click the start icon and select the Command prompt(Admin).
2.Type Diskpart in the command prompt - Enter.
3. Type rescan at the prompt. - enter - This operation will take a few seconds.
4. Type list disk and press Enter
5.Select the disk, where the partition is sitting - in your case, probably 0, by typing Select disk 0
6. Type list partitions and enter.
7.Carefully select the partition that you wish to delete, by typing select partition x (substitute x)
8. Type delete partition override and enter.
