    Can I expand my C: partition?


    When I run out of disk space and Disk Cleanup only removes small amount of MB, can I expand my C: partition? Because I have 200 GB unallocated space on my HDD and it's unused.

    Hello Jonathan,

    Please go ahead and post back with a screenshot of Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) showing all of your HDD's layout first. This will help us determine what option would be best and trouble free for you to be able to do this. :)
