Hello JC try the Partition Wizard and then explore the partitions. In the second pic you can expand them out to see inside folders etc

Well speaking for myself I found myself doubling up on a lot of programs on my Ivy Bridge and just went in and culled them once I found the problem folder / files.

Now a screenshot of the initial screen where I have the arrows is going to show how the partitions are set up. In mine I only have the two partitions on each drive the small one is an SD card.

Yep KB that is just a pat of the partition those +'s just open them out even further to see what is in them bit like burrowing down into the regedit stuff.

Now JC it is very hard to see what is in your shots and it would be better to use the Snipping tool to get a better view.

The Partition Wizard does a lot of other partition functions as well as just seeing what is in there

Well when you are ready post back and the resizing can be done through Partition Wizard if you so wish.

When typing a message, above the text in the row of options, click on the little paperclip. Click on choose file, browse to the location on your computer where the file is, select the file, and click on upload. Close the attachment window, and click on the paperclip down arrow(next to the paperclip) and insert the attachment in your post. Voila!
