Can't delete partition?

Well here is the story;

I had 2 windows operating systems running, one on the D drive and another on the C drive. I decided to remove the windows running on the D drive, deleting anything and then made a new empty partition.

but....
for some reason I cannot seem to delete that new empty partition I made. What I'm trying to do is extend the empty partition to my main windows installation so I can have more disk space.

Here is a screenshot of my partitions:

I'm gonna make a backup first then try Brink's solution, don't wanna risk any data loss.

Hello Robb, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You are not able to delete the D: partition since it has the page file on it. You will need to first move the page file to be on your C drive instead.

Afterwards you should be able to delete the D: partition. However, you will not be able to extend the unallocated space from D: into C: in Disk Management since it's to the left of C: instead of directly right (adjacent) to C:. You'll need to use a free program like MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to do so instead.

I don't think the free version of MiniTool supports merging partition Brink, I'm pretty sure of that, maybe suggest a differant partition program? :)

It does according to the listed features it has.

it say's nothing about it merging partitions in home edition on this page, but if you click "compare Editions" it has a red X next to Merging partitions for Home edition :)

Ok guys! I've managed to move the page file, now I'll have to extend it using third party partition managers. Gonna try EaseUS now!
