Windows 10: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I CAN'T DELETE IT OR DETACH IT FROM DISK MANAGEMENT.

I opened the Windows 10x vhdx and now I can't detach it. And now I have more than 10 disks. This happened when I opened the Windows 10x vhdx. How can I delete the vhdx file? It's showing it's being used by system.

Disk Management

Hi Keith,

Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

• Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
• Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

We look forward to your response to our queries.

 

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?

Hello Ed,

I would like to know more information regarding the issue to assist you with your concern:

• When did this issue start?
• What changes have you made prior to this issue?
• Are you using a virtual machine?
• Have you installed a third-party antivirus software?

If you have a third-party software, I suggest that you uninstall it and check if it's the same.

In time meantime, I recommend that detach the other storage disks and make sure that the only storage disk that have connected is the one where the operating system is installed.

Let us know how it goes.
