    Partition space

    You're not understanding this. Unallocated space is NOT equal as (partitioned) empty space.

    Unallocated space means empty RAW sectors on HDD. Empty space means an already allocated file system (either FAT32 or NTFS or any other) that is not occupied by any data.

    So in your case, as DanTheBanjoman already suggested, don't try to shrink "unallocated space", extend the main (C*Smile SSD Trim work at ESPFAT32, MSRfree space and unallocated partition or not? :) partition instead. You can't shrink something that doesn't exist (unallocated space), but you can extend the existing partition over unallocated space.
    So, just select the C: partition and extend it further. Program should automatically allow you to do that. I'm not using Partition Magic, but i usually done this with either:
    MiniTool Partition Wizard Free - manage and resize disk partitions (also for 64bit OS!)

    or

    EaseUS Partition Master - manage disk partitions (only for 32bit OS!)

    Unallocated Space on my SSD

    See, I don't know what's going on or why it won't let me merge... :/
    I've tried it as Free Space and Unallocated Space, and I'm on a laptop so it's not like I have a secondary drive or partition that's interfering...

    Right now I'm trying EaseUS Partition Master, so I hope it works.
