Windows 10: unmovable files while shrinking

hi

im trying to shrink my c drive but because of unmovable files i cant shrink beyond 6GB i have already disabled page files, hibernation and system restore and did the cleanup but still i cant go beyond 6GB.thank you.

:)

 

my disk drive is not shrink beyond the point

You cannot shrink Unmovable files via disk management, but you can directly directly

shrink partition with unmovable filesby AOMEI Partition Assistant. It is a freeware for Windows 10/8/7 that can easily shrink a volume or partition beyond the point where the unmovable files are located without the need to manually disable the unmovable
files.

 

Shrink failed in windows 10 due to The last unmovable file appears to be: \$BitMap::$DATA

I am using Windows 10 OS and have 800gb of free space in Volume C: of my 1TB Hard disk. i only have C: drive and a recovery drive. I am trying to do a partition but it's failing due to unmovable files.

1. chkdsk has been run- no issues
   
2. error checking - no erros
   
3. Cleanup disk - done
   
4. defragment - done - 0% fragmented
   
5. finally triggered Shrink- - shrink upto 800gb of free space available - triggere for 300gb but failed due to many reasons
   

First i encountered System Volume information for which i turned off System restore , then hibernate then internet files - which are taken care of.
but now i get the error :
The last unmovable file appears to be: \$BitMap::$DATA

How could i resolve this?

Thanks in Advance

 

Cannot shrink C: partition: Not enough space

Try launching the Event Viewer to see which individual files are blocking the partition shrink.

1. Once again, attempt to shrink the partition. You should get the "There is not enough space" error.
   
2. Launch Windows' Event Viewer application.
   
3. In Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs > Application.
   
4. Find and Click a recent log of type Warning. It should have the message, "Error: during volume shrink initiated on volume Windows (C we failed to move a movable file extent." (screenshot)
   
5. The Diagnostic details will give you the name of the "last unmovable file"
   
6. Delete this file (Simply send to recycle bin. I did not need a hard delete).
   
7. Try shrinking your volume again.
   
8. Repeat steps 2-7 until you successfully shrink your partition. (In my case, I had to do this 3 times, as I had 3 pdf files in my local Google Drive that were for some reason stuck as 'unmovable'.).
   
9. Restore your deleted files.
   

CAUTION:
Make sure you know what you are deleting! In my case, I knew that these pdf files were:

1. Not system files
   
2. Easy to download again if they became lost
