  2. Can I safely delete certain partitions?

    All the partitions to the right of C:\ can be safely deleted. I noticed you have some substantial unallocated disk space that you should try recovering.

    After deleting the suggested partitions, the Volumes you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

    Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

    The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (CNeed to clear up more disk space, don't know what else i can safely delete? :). Right click the System volume then click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

    A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

    The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.

    Need to clear up more disk space, don't know what else i can safely delete?

    Disk cleanup clears much less space then claimed

    Hi Arsenaltastic, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.

    It's odd that Disk Cleanup doesn't clean the same amount it reports, but there are definitely other effective ways to save disk space. Windows has built-in tools such as Storage Sense to help you manage your disk space effectively.

    Here's a link to a Microsoft Support article that lists quite a few ways to save disk space:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/12425/...

    Follow the steps listed and you should definitely save some space. Let me know how you go and if you still need help I'll give you further options! Thanks!
