Windows 10: Out of space in drive C and drive D taking longer to load than usual, is this because i ran...

Out of space in drive CIs there any way i could free up some space in drive C? I tried deleting all the unnecessary apps, now there are only apps that need permissions left, I'm not sure if I should delete them or not?And also, is that the reason why when i open drive D, it takes longer than usual? i mean not so long like about 1 min but before, i could go straight in without waiting. It only happens with drive D. i still have many space on this drive

how to merge c drive and d drive

It depends on a couple things.

If you have two separate physical C and D drives, you can't merge them.

If the D drive is a partition (not a drive) and its to the right of C:\ in Disk Management, you can right click C:\ then click Extend.

Press Windows key + X

Click Disk Management

Take a screenshot then post in a reply here.

If the layout is similar to how I described it, try the following. Make sure important data is backed up if there is any.

Select the D:\ partition

Right click the ‘D:\’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

The Volume 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 (C:\). Right click the System volume and 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.

 

I need to allocate space from my d drive to my c drive (c drive full)

I've created unallocated space on the d drive in disk management & now need help to move the space to the c drive please. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 

C drive almost full but D drive has lots of space!

Hi all, I have now cleaned up Drive C and it is no longer short on space. I used the Windows Clean Up to gain back several gigs of space which seems to have solved the problem. Hopefully I won't get short on space again as all my docs, pics and music etc
are set to save to Drive D. Thank you all for your help.
