    Shrinking C: drive

    Hi Krischankailee

    Try defragmenting your C drive before attempting to shrink you drive, there may be some unmovable files that are causing this

    If you still cannot shrink your C drive, due to the limited ability of Windows 10 partitioning, it may be best to use a 3rd party utility like the Free version of AOMEI Partition Assistant, which is fully featured and very capable . . .

    Shrinking C: drive

    Yes i tried to defragmenting it. After my first attempt of shrinking my C: drive (i waited for like an hour or so) i went to defragment and stop the shrinking (cause it's stuck at 43%) then i defragmented it (analyze & optimize) after it was done defragmenting
    i tried to shrink it again but it is always stuck at 43% shrunk.
