You can remove the letter with Diskpart but it returns at reboot.
Problem is, it is a recovery partition (correctly marked when I investigate) it's just that disk manager can't see it. The recovery partition is seen by disk manager as an OEM partition and it gets a letter. OK, so even returning to my old pre-insider image (recovery drive loses the letter and returns to being seen as a recovery drive in disk manager) and updating to the release version, this issue comes back. Do let me know folks, because I can find very little information on this issue and I want to understand what's happening before the full role out of the April update. Am I to assume a) this happens to everyone on Insider these days, and it will go away once I've returned to the stable build on full role out day b) this is a bug with this build of Windows and even if it remains when I return to stable, everyone is seeing this and MS need to deal or c) this is just something wrong with my PC, probably needing a reinstall of everything from scratch because, you know, Windows. Nothing I do with Diskpart or the drive manager gets rid of the letter (might do temporarily but it gets reallocated on a reboot). Then I switch to Insider Release Preview again and back comes the unwanted drive allocation for this partition. So, turns out if I restore my image from before the update the 'new' drive letter goes away. Clearly it should not have a drive letter, and I've had to edit the registry to stop the constant warnings about a drive being full because of this. This is the ~450MB partition that used to be called the recovery partition at the beginning of the boot drive (I have no special OEM partition, this was a clean install of W10 on my own build, there is no OEM). Weirdly, once updated to the preview an 'OEM' partition appears in File Explorer with a drive letter. So, I moved to the Release Preview once it was clear the April release was delayed.
