    get rid of primary partition


    I have reinstalled Windows 7 on my HDD, and now I have 2 active partitions, on C:/ and D:/
    I deleted the D:/Windows folder, then tried to delete the D:/ partition, but no luck using Disk Management.

    The problem D:/ disk is using 72,5 Go and C: only 37,5 out of a total of 110Go?
    So C:/, the actual disk I am using is almost full!

    Welcome aboard :)

    First of all, post a full window snipshot of your disk management window, so that the situation could be understood in a better way.

    You can`t just transfer the space, as they are 2 different physical discs. You could get rid of the 37 GB drive and install windows on the 111 GB drive.

    I see.. I forgot I had a second drive in that machine...

    I found why... my previous Win 7 is on C, that is why it takes somuch space. It is called Windols.old. Can I just delete it?

    If you're sure you don't want to go back to the former installation you can delete Windows.old

    Windows.old Folder - Delete

    Mine is 15.6GB so yeah that's average I would say. It differs with the amount and usage of screen savers, themes and the likes.
