Windows 10: Space & New Volume

I recently have been running low on space on my computer. I deleted useless files but it barely changes the amount of room on my pc. I tried to see if I could change to the "New Volume D:" Since it has over 920 GB of space but I am unsure how to change to it or how that would work. If you are able to please help me with this. Thanks Ben Murray

Any way to downgrade ver. of MS Storage spaces volume w/o data loss?

1. Install Windows 1607 & 1709 dual boot system
2. Connect two free disks
3. Boot into 1607
4. Create storage pool, assign two free disks, create two-way mirror volume
5. Copy data to new volume
6. Reboot into 1709
7. Upgrade your Storage Space pool to gain new features as MS suggests
8. Reboot into 1607
9. Your Storage Space configuration looks now as in the picture, volume is inaccessible
10. Notice that doing step 7 was not the smartest idea, data are now accessible only from Windows 1709.

Question: Is it possible to simply revert Storage Spaces metadata back to version 1607? Answer: No. It is necessary to backup data, destroy upgraded pool, create new pool & mirror in Windows 1607, and restore data.

Is it so hard to understand what necros asks for?

 

Cannot create a new simple volume from unallocated space

I want to create a new volume. So I've shrink a volume. Then I got unallocated space. When I try to create a new simple volume I'm getting this type of error.





What should I do? Please suggest me a solution.

 

Re-claim Free Space in Storage Spaces Volume

I have a Win10 machine with 1x 500GB SSD (boot drive) and 3x 3TB HDD. I have storage spaces set up for the HDDs and have noticed that any deleted data in the volume does not change "usage" according to storage spaces. Now it says my volume is full despite
having only ~5TB on it. I have linked screenshots of my output where relevant.

• Storage Space Config
• Current Storage Space Status
• Current Drive Status
• Weird allocations per WizTree (this is a couple days old so the #s may not match up exactly with the rest)

How do I get my free space back?

Here is what I tried already after a lot of searching and nothing has worked:

• Optimize Volume via the GUI (0% trimmed; 99% efficiency) - No Changes
• Optimize-Volume Slab Consolidation
• Optimize-Volume Defrag
  • ERROR - Volume Full (I deleted 40GB worth of data and still got a "volume full" error)
  • I tried this defrag manually before the drive was "full" and it ran the defrag but I didnt get any space back
• Chkdsk
• Empty Recycle bin, restart, etc.

Is there anything I can do short of deleting the volume and starting over?

Can I prevent in the future? Because if this is just the nature of Storage Spaces they won't work for me.
