Windows 10: local disk C

Hi,

After reinstalled Windows 10 in the desktop, the Local Disk C: goes to the SSD 32GB. It is full as only 29 GB.

At the same time, there is a Windows F: appears in the HHD 2TB with 1.8TB volume, mainly empty files.

Due to no volume in the Local Disk C, I cannot reinstall the apps. or restore my files from my backup drive.

I can't extend the Local disk C volume in disk management due to they are 2 disks- disk 0 and 1.

Will it solves the problem if reinstall Win 10 again? or move Local Disk C to HHD from SSD as I thought Local C supposed in HHD? and how to do?

Any suggestion out there? Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Lee

Step 1. Hit "Windows Key + R to open the run dialogue box, enter "diskpart" and click "OK" to open a black command prompt window.
