Windows 10: No Room on Local Disk problem.

I just tried to move files off my crowded C: drive - down to 500MB space only from 1T - to my I: drive with 63G free from 2T.

But I got an error message: not enough room on Local Disk. Free: 356 MB. Size: 930G.

I didn't understand that.

So I tried moving one file at a time and they moved - well,copied, because different drives.

So then I tried to delete the original because making room is what I was trying to do and I got a message:

'deleting an online only folder permanently removes it from your pc.... ' etc...

Which I suppose means these files have been stored on the cloud with this mysterious and life-of-its-own 'one drive' or something. would that be right?

Their english doesn't make sense to me: it's online only yet I delete it and it moves if off my machine? just where is it? on my machine or online?

Can anyone explain this strange behaviour to me and what can I do so's I know what's on my machine and what isn't?

Recovering Local Disk

Thank you for your quick response.

It could be a compatibility issue with the latest update and your local disk. We suggest updating your disk driver. Follow these steps:

• On the Start, type Device Manager.
• Locate and select Disk drives.
• Right-click on your disk drive, select Properties.
• Go to the Driver tab and choose Update Driver.
• Once done, click OK.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

why do 2 Local Disks get isolated?

This HP has a new SSD. I just now found this and wonder if it is stupids and/or dangerous to try <

"How to delete EFI partition with Diskpart

Step 1. Hit "Windows Key + R to open the run dialogue box, enter "diskpart" and click "OK" to open a black command prompt window.
Step 2. Type "list disk" to display all the disks of your computer. Type "select disk n" to identify which disk you need to work with. Here n stands for the disk letter.
Step 3. Type "list partition" to display all the volumes on the hard drive. Type "select partition n" to identify which partition you want to remove. Here n stands for the volume letter.
Step 4. Type "delete partition override" to remove the EFI partition. Finally, type "exit" to close the windows when you receive the message says, DiskPart successfully deleted the selected partition"

just for a better understanding, but not wanting to complete it, I took these steps >

so C: should be using 70GB I assume (461- 391)

Am sure my lack of expert knowledge is showing!
