How do you extend C: partition of Windows Server 2022? (piefed.social)

Windows Server 2022 creates one recovery partition just on the right of the C: partition. So, when it is required to expand the C: partition it is impossible due to this recovery partition. I realised of this problem because our IT department provides Windows Server virtual machines users are unable to expand.

I would like to know how are you dealing with this problem. Do you remove the recovery partition? Do you keep the recovery partition? how?

Remove the recovery partition, it's pointless anyway.
But what the hell was MS thinking doing that?

Probably along the lines of "Ook ook ook"

I'm imagining it went something like

"Hey boss, should I set the Server variant to not install the recovery partition?"
"Why?"
"Well, kinda pointless isn't it?"
"Yeah, but like, not hurting anything, and do you want to risk breaking something? Because I don't"
"Yeah, fair point"
