Upon preforming a disk cleanup I believe I accidentally erased data on 2 recovery partitions. I assume one is for 7 and one for 10. I took a look at the hard drives recovery partitions and there is 100% free space. If one is for 7, I can live without it. However I would like to have one for 10. What can I do?

I believe I have solved this Issue by downloading a fresh copy of windows 10 and burning to a blank dvd and reinstalling. Windows is available for downloading at their official website Windows.com. The ISO image can be burned to dvd by right clicking on ISO file or by a third party burner.

Just to clarify:
did you delete the partitions or just the files on them?
