And to answer OP's question:

(even though the guide was written with 10.7 Lion in mind, it's the same deal with Mavericks)

edit: P1LGRIM's guide seems to be more straightforward, use that one.

thanks. earlier i had noticed file vault2 full disk encryption requires the recovery partition, in case someone wanted to use filevault2.

Are we talking about just the 650Mb partition?

If so, hardly seems worth worrying about in this day and age, if your hard drive space is getting that tight, 650MB is going to be swallowed up in no time and its time for an upgrade, NAS or external drive in my opinion.

But on the other side of the argument, having a recovery USB lying around is equally as useful anyway...

Thanks. This guide did the trick to remove the Recovery HD partition created by Yosemite.
