Just right-click the partition in Windows Explorer and format it.
But be sure to back up all your data.

If you format D then your Recovery partition will be removed. Make your Recovery Disks first if you want to have any method to restore to Factory Condition.

For the third time, will you check if you have a GPT or MBR disk following the steps below?

OK can you check now if it's a GPT or MBR disk?

gregrocker said:
Check in Disk Mgmt to see if it's for certain an MBR disk.

Does this same choice appear when you right click on the panel in red to the left of the HD shown in this screenshot of Disk Mgmt?

This will tell us if it's an EFI install.

Please post back a screenshot of the content of the 15gb partition.

Did you make your Recovery Disks yet, or see if they will generate to know if Recovery Partition even works?

Why am I having to ask you for a fourth time to check in Disk Mgmt if you have an MBR or GPT disk? I gave you a diagram to show how to determine this. If you have any questions how to do it then you should ask them back, but you may not just ignore the request repeatedly if you want help here.
 
cant removed the program that let me look at it

How did you remove Disk Management? It's built into the OS and should be impossible to remove.

What happens when you try to burn Recovery Disks? This should help tell us if the Recovery Partition still works.



There's only a slight possibility the 15gb is involved with running the Recovery Partition, and if it doesn't work then you can delete both.
 
i will post a pic of whats in the 15GB but I WILL NOT DELETE IT

When will you post it? We don't know what it is, and you're not telling. There's no way for us to know if it's important or not.
