Sounds like your trying to defrag the recovery partition of said computer. By deleting the contents of the partition, you will loose your ability to perform a system recovery (unless recovery discs were made). The partition does not have to be defragged.

If you want to delete the contents of the partition, make recovery discs.
HP Notebook PCs -  Using HP Backup and Recovery Manager 

If you want to continue to defrag the partition, try using Auslogics Disk Defrag or JKDefrag
JkDefrag v3.36
Auslogics - Download Auslogics Disk Defrag
