Windows 10: I cannot make a new volume out of unallocated space on my disk.

I have about 150 GB of unallocated space recently opened after deleting my second Windows. First, I was able to make it into a New Volume, although I decided to delete the volume to merge it to an existing drive. I tried the "Extend Volume" option, however, an Error popped up: "There is not enough space available on the disk to complete this operation." Afterward, I wasn't even able to create a new volume with the space.

I have tried Rescan disks and Refresh, and they didn't work. I cannot seem to be able to use this 150 GB in any way. This is a screenshot of my Disk Management:





I would appreciate your help.

Recover Unallocated Disk Space

Hi,DawnWilliams8

Sorry for this using the Disk Management tools

Step 1: Right-click Windows icon and select Disk Management.

Step 2: Locate and right-click on unallocated space in Disk Management, select "New Simple Volume".

Step 3: Specify the partition size and click "Next" to continue.

Step 4: Set a drive letter, file system - NTFS, and other settings to the new partitions. Click "Finish" to complete creating a new partition.

after putting a driver letter, you can try again the diskpart

You can used the diskpart.

2. In CMD type: Diskpart and hit enter

3. In Diskpart type: list volume and hit enter

4. Type: select volume X (X being the drive letter of your unallocated external hard drive) then hit enter (you can find out which Drive letter is assigned by looking in Disk Management)

5. Type: "delete volume" and then hit Enter

6. Type: "list volume" and then hit enter (If the tool is not able to create a new volume, follow the steps below)

7. Type: "select volume X" and then hit Enter

8. Type: "delete volume" and then hit Enter

9.Type: "delete volume" override and then hit Enter
