Windows 10: Can't increase recovery partition size

Hi, I'm trying to increase the recovery partition size because of a failed update that requires the partition to be larger but after following the instructions I'm able to shrink the OS partition by the required 250mb, but when I delete and recreate the recovery partition, the partition remains the same size and doesn't use the unallocated space. Any help please? Thanks

Increasing Partition Size

You can't remove unallocated space, because it is, by definition, unallocated. Do what LX07 and Cereberus are suggesting and get the free Minitool. Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free You will be able to shrink "D" and expand "C" easily and safely. Download and install it, and someone here will walk you thru the few simple steps.

 

Extend C drive Size

Your Image does not show a D partition. It does show an F partition which if reduced in size would enable you to increase the size of the C partition.



These are the steps needed to enable you to increase the size of your C partition:

• 
  Reduce F by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before F.
  
• 
  Increase the Recovery partition by 20 gb taking up unallocated space created by Step 1.
  
• 
  Reduce the Recovery partition by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  
• 
  Increase the C partition by 20 gb to take in the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  

You can use Easeus Partition Manager (freeware) to carry out these tasks. The files in each partition are automatically moved when you carry out each step detailed above.

Increase partition size

Welcome to TenForums, Linkdeutscher.

There are many ways to increase the size of your C partition but all are subject to the existing layout and constraints of the disk on which it resides. Can you post a screenshot of how Disk Management displays the disk in question, or otherwise give more info on ALL partitions currently on the disk in question?
