Delete Recovery Partitions

I have three recovery partitions on my primary drive. The newest at 990MB is labeled WINRETOOLS, the next is labeled IMAGE at 14.86GB, and the oldest is labeled DELLSUPPORT at 1.43GB. Any reason to keep the two older ones? The newest one is probably when I upgraded to Win 11. 

 

I assume that the oldest one labeled DELLSUPPORT is from when the computer was new and will not work anymore. I'm nor sure about the one labeled IMAGE or know when it was created.

 

I made a recovery drive on a USB thumb drive a while back. Should this be redone or updated periodically?

    So doing a recovery disk for the latest version of Windows - it's a good idea, but I always forget about it , and sometimes it may be needed.
