You shouldn't delete the system partition, boot partition, or any partition that contains the virtual memory paging file, because Windows needs this information to startup and run properly
even though some of article in the internet said you will able to delete this partition after recovered recovery partition to USB or use other 3rd party apps to delete it, most of OEM PC wont let you delete this partition.
may I know why you want to delete that partition?
If you have tablet Windows 8.1 or PC with small storage and you want to free up the space, try to follow this

more info I suggest you contact your PC manufactured, they supposed to be better solution for this. As far I know there is some built in software which can manage the storage space in their tablet Windows 8 or 8.1
