    I would leave that alone, as you could end up with a machine that won't boot or lose your factory recovery partition. Not that this would be entirely bad, because it would give you a reason to do a full drive re-format and reinstall Windows without all of that silly space-wasting fluff. But, finding yourself having to do it at a time that is inconvenient might not be fun.
