How to move an EFI partition to the beginning of a disk?

Hello everyone!
In general, when migrating the operating system from MBR to GPT, I made a mistake somewhere and EFI ended up in the middle of the disk, here is a screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjvFBb-z3q07iPAa0-bNR_zyLFBmuA... (we are talking about the disk 1)
Tell me how it can now be moved to the beginning of the disk while saving the load?
ps The system is now booting.

1. In the same "acronis disk director", expand the area at the beginning (shifting C:), move the partition to the beginning, restore the bootloader, edit the config in the BIOS (if you haven't picked it up yourself).
The software may refuse to do this, so we back up the partition, delete it, expand it, restore it with an indication of the beginning of the disk.
2. Reinstall Windows and don't worry.
I'm for the second :)

In general, how it ended:
Among other methods, I tried to delete the encrypted partition using diskpart. Selected the desired disk, then selected the desired partition, then entered the clean command. For some reason, I was sure that when setting the focus to a partition, diskpart could delete the target partition, but, apparently, you need to read the manuals better. Diskpart has completely cleared the target disk of all partitions. Then it was already restored from backups.
