  3. my disk drive is not shrink beyond the point

    Hi Seshasai,

    Unmovable files refer to the data generated by Windows that cannot be automatically moved by Windows built-in tool Disk Management, such as Hibernation, Pagefile and System protection. You cannot see these files in File Explorer, because they are hidden
    by default. In this case, we suggest that you perform the following methods:

    Method 1: Disable Hibernation.

    • Click on Start.
    • Type cmd.
    • Right-click on Command Prompt, select
      Run
      as administrator.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type
      powercfg
      .exe /hibernate off, and then press Enter.
    • Exit Command Prompt window.

    Method 2: Disable the Page File.

    • Click on Start.
    • Type This PC.
    • Right-click on it and select Properties.
    • On the left pane, click on Advanced system
      settings
      .
    • Select the Advanced tab.
    • Under Performance, click on the Settings button
    • Select Advanced tab.
    • Under Virtual memory, click on Change button.
    • Uncheck the Automatically manage paging
      file size for all
      drives option.
    • Click on No paging file radio button.
    • Click on Set button.
    • Click on Yes button to confirm.
    • Click on OK.
    • Restart your PC.

    Method 3: Disable System Protection.

    • Click on Start.
    • Type Control Panel, and then press
      Enter
      .
    • At the top-right corner of Control Panel window, set
      View by from Category to
      Small
      icons or Large icons.
    • Select System.
    • On the left pane, click on System protection link.
    • Click on Configure button.
    • Under Restore Settings, click on Disable
      system protection radio button.
    • Click on Apply.
    • Restart your PC.

    After doing the steps above, you can now try to shrink your drive.

    Note: The 3 methods above are temporary steps. After shrinking your disk drive, do the steps again and enable all the options that we have disabled.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    my disk drive is not shrink beyond the point

    You cannot shrink Unmovable files via disk management, but you can directly directly

    shrink partition with unmovable files
    by AOMEI Partition Assistant. It is a freeware for Windows 10/8/7 that can easily shrink a volume or partition beyond the point where the unmovable files are located without the need to manually disable the unmovable
    files.
