Windows 10: How to move stuff from OS C: drive to D D: drive safely.

Hello,


I am asking how to move some important file library locations music, documents, pictures, perhaps even my desktop files and more to my D drive since my OS drive is almost full.


Yes, I don't understand how computers work but i messed up before and wish not to do it again.


Here is a screenshot of my drives.

Is it safe to merge D and C drives?

Hello, today i installed Windows 10 and decided to free up some space on my MSI GP70 laptop, i have a total of 1TB of memory, but its split into 2 drives, the C and D drive, and i started to wonder, is it safe to merge the two drives? Do i lose the recovery
files on the D drive if i merge them?

Any help will be appreciated

D drive

Hi,

Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

• Type Command prompt in the search bar.
• Type-in the following command:
  
  attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
• Press Enter to execute the command.

If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

• Click on the File Explorer.
• Select This PC.
• Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
• Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

 

No C: but D: drive has all the data

Hi Austin,

To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

Regards.
