After a recent crash disaster, I wound up with multiple partition duplicates. How do I remove them safely? Thanks.

What I don't know is with so many duplicates, which ones do I pick for deletion without sending my computer back to the dark ages?

The Aomei partitions were made during my installation of their programs. What about the Recovery and WINRETOOLS? There are 2 each for Recovery. Which to delete? If you say both, how do I know that one of them is not needed?
make a system restore before removing
Looks like partition table is corrupt
Have you tried to assign a drive letter from the windows disk management? Try this, first unhide partitions with minitool https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/can't-change-drive-letter-in-partition-manager.html

They now show in File Explorer, but I do not have permission to open them. Looking at the properties on each, I see no way to grant access to them. What is the purpose of being able to look inside the partition? Using mini tool to explore each ESP partition, they seem to contain Aomei, EFI and EN-US files. Are these needed for regular boot?
