PowerShell script to delete the Recovery Partition

I created a batch file that deletes the 'Recovery partition' but when I tried to create a PowerShell script, it says it cannot find the 'Recovery Partition'. Can anyone help me my code is below.

What I am trying to do is finding the 'Recovery partition' and then remove it so it is unallocated disk space. I was able to do this with a batch file but am having issues with PowerShell. We are not worried about this partition as we just deploy new machines.
This is a test we are doing. Thanks

    # Define logging setup
$logFolder = "C:\applog"
$logFile = "$logFolder\Diskpart_Log.txt"

# Ensure log folder exists
if (!(Test-Path -Path $logFolder)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $logFolder -Force
}

# Function for logging
function Write-Log {
    param ($message)
    $timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
    "$timestamp - $message" | Out-File -Append -FilePath $logFile
}

Write-Log "Script started. Identifying partitions..."


$diskpartListScript = "$logFolder\diskpart_list.txt"


@"
list disk
select disk 0
list partition
"@ | Out-File -FilePath $diskpartListScript


$partitionDetails = diskpart /s $diskpartListScript | Out-String
Write-Log "Retrieved partition details."


$primaryPartition = ($partitionDetails -match "Partition\s+\d+\s+\d+GB") -split "\s+" | 
Select-Object -Index 1
Write-Log "Primary partition identified: $primaryPartition"

# Identify the Recovery Partition ('Recovery' label)
$recoveryPartition = ($partitionDetails -match "Partition\s+\d+\s+\d+MB\s*Recovery") - 
split "\s+" | Select-Object -Index 1

if ($recoveryPartition) {
    
    $diskpartScript = "$logFolder\diskpart_script.txt"
    @"
    select disk 0
    select partition $recoveryPartition
    delete partition override
    "@ | Out-File -FilePath $diskpartScript

    Write-Log "Attempting to delete recovery partition #$recoveryPartition..."

 
    diskpart /s $diskpartScript | Out-File -Append -FilePath $logFile

    Write-Log "Recovery partition deletion complete."
    } else {
    Write-Log "No recovery partition found. Skipping deletion."
}

# Cleanup script files
Remove-Item $diskpartScript, $diskpartListScript -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Write-Log "Cleanup completed."
Write-Host "Script execution finished. Check log file at $logFile"

Thanks would appreciate the help

Use Get-Partition and Get-Volume instead of parsing diskpart. This will give you structured data. Updated your code but tough to test like this.

Updated your code:

# Define logging setup
$logFolder = "C:\applog"
$logFile = "$logFolder\Diskpart_Log.txt"

# Ensure log folder exists
if (!(Test-Path -Path $logFolder)) {
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $logFolder -Force
}

# Function for logging
function Write-Log {
    param ($message)
    $timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
    "$timestamp - $message" | Out-File -Append -FilePath $logFile
}

Write-Log "Script started. Identifying recovery partition..."

# Get all recovery partitions
$recoveryPartitions = Get-Partition | Where-Object { $_.Type -eq 'Recovery' }

if ($recoveryPartitions.Count -eq 0) {
    Write-Log "No recovery partition found. Skipping deletion."
} else {
    foreach ($partition in $recoveryPartitions) {
        $diskNumber = $partition.DiskNumber
        $partitionNumber = $partition.PartitionNumber

        Write-Log "Found recovery partition on Disk $diskNumber, Partition $partitionNumber"

        $diskpartScript = @"
select disk $diskNumber
select partition $partitionNumber
delete partition override
"@

        $scriptPath = "$logFolder\diskpart_script.txt"
        $diskpartScript | Out-File -FilePath $scriptPath -Encoding ASCII

        Write-Log "Attempting to delete recovery partition..."
        diskpart /s $scriptPath | Out-File -Append -FilePath $logFile
        Write-Log "Recovery partition deletion complete."
        Remove-Item $scriptPath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }
}

Write-Log "Script execution finished."
Write-Host "Check log file at $logFile"
