I recently wanted to dual-boot my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 710) running Windows 10 to include Fedora 28. I previously played around with the laptop and ended up messing up my partition scheme. I would like to understand my system and how to optimise my hard drive to have no unnecessary partitions.

First off, it's hard determining what the partitions are used for without seeing where they're mounted. You can do that by using either mount or lsblk - I prefer the latter option as it gives more clean output.
The first partition - the EFI partition - is where you have your efi-stubs. Those are required by windows and (whatever bootloader you've chosen for fedora idk) to boot.
The two 1G partitions seems quite unnecessary to me but idk what they're used for.
In reality you may only need 3 partitions, 1 UEFI, 1 Linux and 1 Windows (also plus that 1 windows recovery part. but that's up to you) but that's not ideal.
You may have your home folder on a separate (Linux, EXT4) partition and an optional shared partition that you can use to share files between your windows and fedora system.

Thanks for the info, 'lsblk -l' was a great help, it showed the mountpoints for my partitions.
