  1. My C drive went from over 400 gb to only 238 gb


    I reset my PC and in the process I used my old laptop to get my stuff over

    For some reason the C drive is now the same as my old laptop

    I can't locate the missing space I tried in partitions

    Also I tried cmd Diskpart List disk

    The missing space does not show up

    c users need to delete all 5 gb 3 gb for One Drive can I delets all these files?

    c users greg one drive has 3 gb and I need all this space I bought the acer cloud book with 25 gb and have .8 free on my documents I only have 400 megs used I did properties on all of drive and found 5 gb on c users greg and 3 gb was for one drive
    properties I need help to del 5 gb to free this up as ms update fails as not enough space....

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted data and unused applications to clean up the drive.

    5 gb on c users is the only large gb I found others must be hidden in c system files for the other 20 gb

    I can buy a 64 gb flash drive for 20 dollars is there a way to move the 5 gb in c users to this?

    You suggest to delete the unwanted data..... I need to know what you mean data as its all c users greg 5 gb and in this c users greg one drive 3 gb and you said this will do me no good to delete.... so is the 20 gb all in the c system hidden files?

    thanks

    Unable to shrink the C drive beyond 455 GB

    I was trying to partition my 1 TB hard drive in new windows 10 laptop from HP by using disk management tool . I would like to keep the following partition sizes:

    C Drive : 200 GB

    D Drive : 400 GB

    E Drive : 300 GB

    However I am unable to proceed as the shrink cannot be beyond 50% and it doesn't allow Volume C to be less than 455 GB.

    Will I be able to successfully shrink it to 200 GB in c drive and does it have any disadvantages doing so?

  4. My C drive went from over 400 gb to only 238 gb

    My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)

    • My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)
    • I am unable to install the update,
    • I suspect the windows 10 need this much space and it is some kind of glitch,
    • Please suggest a way to free up some space as I don't prefer to format partition C:
