  1. Cannot Update PC Due to C drive disk storage space limitations


    Hi,


    I need to update my OS.


    I do not have enough space.


    When I select 'use an external hard drive' it still requires space on my C drive.


    I have deleted all temporary files, moved all my documents to another drive, moved everything on my desktop, done disk cleanup, deleted all applications which I do not need and know I can delete, moved all applications that I can, and still do not have enough space.


    What should I do? Almost everything left on my C drive is stuff that I cannot delete without causing problems to my computer!




    Thank you.

    :)

    Storage space in Drive C

    How do you increase the storage space in Drive C?

    I have added a new disk to my laptop creating an extra drive.

    Unallocated Space to C Drive

    Hi Travis,

    It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

    • In Disk Management, right-click on (CCannot Update PC Due to C drive disk storage space limitations :) which appears next to the
      Unallocated partition.
    • Select Extend.

    Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

    Regards.
