Hi,
I'd like to shrink my C:/ on a HP laptop from 447 Go down to 70 Go. diskmgmt.msc only allowed me to shrink it down to 234 Go.
Based on what they said there, I:
didn't run the Disk Cleanup Wizard, making sure to remove the hibernation file and all restore points > there was nothing to remove
didn't remove the hibernation file > didn't know how/why/if dangerous
didn't remove all restore points > didn't want to!
didn't disable System Restore > same
did disable the pagefile
did change the Write debugging information drop-down to “None” to disable the kernel memory dump in the same Advanced Settings, go to Startup and Recovery \ Settings
didn't disable Hibernation mode in the power options \ advanced power options screen > couldn't find it
didn't delete the c:\pagefile.sys file after rebooting > got some message along the lines of "The file is open in another program"
So basically I didn't do much of it... Anyway, I then installed Auslogics, ticked "Move the system files to the beginning of the disk", ran it, but it didn't seem to work... There are still many huge files in C:\System Volume Information at the end of the volume, plus bits and pieces here and there... And I'm not sure what to do! Not sure at all.
What would you recommand?
