Windows 10: Partition refuses to shrink

I was trying to shrink my C: partition but it does not shrink. In the screenshot below it shows the free space on C: is 13.95 GB so why won't it shrink? I am on windows 7. Please tell me how to shrink it.

:)

Hi,

If you accidentally shrink the volume of your SSD partition, there is an option to extend the volume as well. To extend the volume of your SSD partition, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard and select Disk Management.
• Right-click the partition that you want to expand and click Extend Volume.
• Select the amount of space that you want to extend.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

Hi, disk management has limitations on the size of shrinking partition. Also extending partition with Disk Management, you must have unallocated space next to the partition which you need to expand. Otherwise, the button is grayed out.

I suggest you use a third party free disk partition manager to help you to
extend the partition.

Shrinking partition won't delete any data. It will give you the unused space only.
