Hello I'm having some space trouble here, just got a used gaming PC and the C drive is almost full. The files were cleared out by the previous user, but I see that most of the free space came on the D drive, it's a much larger partition.
The Disk 0 partitions are looking like this.
800MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
260MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
Windows (C:) 150.00 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
there was another small recovery partition here, but I deleted it and added the space to C:
Data (D:) 661.61 GB NTFS Healthy (Page File, Primary Partition)
(J:) 97.66GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition) I made this one from D:, and copied the files from D: to J: as a backup.
21.08 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
Now I don't know much about this, but for what I've read online. I know you can only extend the space directly to the right of a partition.
I used the delete partition override in command prompt, to delete the extra recovery partition after C: and absorb that space in to C:, but I can't do the same with D:
I made the J: partition to try something. Copy the files from D: to J: and delete D:. Add that free space to C: and create a new smaller D: from C:. Copy the files from J: back to D:, Delete J: and add the free space back to D:. That should let me add space to the left to make a larger C: partition, but I can't force delete D:, because of a delete partition override not allowed error, on the current boot, system, Pagefile, crashdump or hibernation volume.
I want to change the Pagefile assignment to J: with the copied files in there, while I fix the size of D: and set it back to D: when I'm finished.
Can I do that, and how?
Any other ideas?
