    Trying to delete volume E so I can extend volume D but I get a message saying that volume is currently in use even tho it's currently empty. It offers me a forced deletion, since there is nothing on there I should do it right?

    :)

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Cannot delete volume

    Hello Machael,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What is the type of the volume?

    You may check the type of the volume in disk management by following the below steps:

    • Press Windows + R.
    • Type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter.

    I request you to attach screenshot of the Disk Management page.

    I would suggest you to check this link and see if it helps.

    Thank you.
