How Can I Extend My Disk Into a New Volume with a Recovery Partition in the Way

I want to extend volume C to use Volume D, but the recovery partition is in the way and I'm not sure how to remove or move it. I saw from some threads that the partition can't be moved and that the only option to move it is third party software. Is there any other way to access Volume D and use that in the disk space? Below is a screenshot of what my disk manager looks like. 53325-screenshot-1.png

    @Sara
    Unfortunately this will not be possible due to the current layout of the disk. You would have to delete the recovery partition and then extend the disk.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions or issues.
