Is it safe to delete the EFI system partition and the recovery partition during a Windows 10 clean install?

Hello there, 

I got a Asus laptop, which has Window 10 preinstalled along with tons of bloatware. So, I've been thinking of freshly installing Windows 10. But I'm not sure which partitions I should delete during the installation. According to the disk management, the primary disk got three partitions, the C: drive, recovery partition and something called EFI system partition. The latter two has no drive letters assigned to them. So, I'd like to know if it's safe to delete all of those partitions or should I keep the recovery and the EFI partition during the installation?

 

Thank you!

If you're clean installing, you're fine to remove them. The new install will create new ones.
