If you run Windows in a VM and you increased the virtual disk space to
afterwards increase the partition that holds Windows by Windows, you
need to remove it first, because the unallocated space is behind this
recovery partition and to my knowledge you cannot move it. AFAIK the
only way to extend the Windows partition, is to delete the recovery
partition first. For a Windows guest it anyway is useless². However,
this is why I once upon a time noticed that this "mysterious" partition
exists.
