I'm trying to install Linux alongside my 64-bit Windows 8 and went into my partition manager to find this structure.

In order to create partitions for my Linux install I need to free up some space. I see that the last partition is an empty recovery partition, as you can see highlighted, it's 100% free.

I was wondering is it okay to just remove this partition seeing as it doesn't appear I'll be losing anything?

Not sure if this helps but this is on a Fujitsu AH532 running Windows 8 64-bit with UEFI.
