All drives must have at least one partition to be usable.
Your choices are to get another drive or delete something from the existing drive.
If you happen to have a second partition on the existing drive, you can move personal data files from C to the other partition.

You can move personal data files to D and still be able to use them from C.
But you cannot move Windows files or installed programs from one partition to another without major problems.
