To delete the recover partition head over to Control Panel and look for Computer Manage Ment and then look for Disk management on the right side. Then select the recover partition and right click and delete.
Some of the acer stuff is quite usable but I think you need to decide what you need. Also i think you'll need it to use certain services on your computer.
Why on earth would you WANT to delete the recovery partition?
It's all you've got when things go pear shaped and you need to restore your laptops OS.
My thoughts exactly, so many people come on here complaining about I can't get my windows back and they have deleted the PQservice partition and forgot to make the DVDs then expect magic to work when it comes to recover windows. IMHO that recovery partition is only about ~4Gb in size and that is nothing compared to the sizes of modern notebook hard drives so it doesn't cost you much in terms of space. I agree with Theo here don't delete that partition trust me it can save you from a few headaches down the road should you need to recover windows.
Note. recovering from the partition is very fast ~10mins whereas if you use the DVDs it can take about 1 hour.

did you make the recovery DVD? if you did not make it BEFORE you type another word. if something goes wrong, you will need it.
Yes I made Recovery DVDs so i can recover my system to factory defult any time using bootable Disks(It take 2 DVDs)I don't like to spend another 10+ GB for Recover Partition.
