Solved exFat Partition??

[Carie]

Hi -

I have a Win 8.1 laptop that I'm going to update to Win 10. I was shocked when I looked at my PC and found that 59gb is partitioned as an exFAT partition. Leaving me with a measly 21gb useable on the PC. There are no files written to this partition.

Just wondering what the purpose is of this partition if anyone knows. If I don't need this partition, I want to delete it so have have more disc space to use for programs...

Thanks!

Could you take a screenshot of Disk Management as described in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/274797-disk-management-post-screen-capture-image.html and post here please?

I couldn't delete it... I'm going to run the Win 10 upgrade, then do a clean install and change the partitions in the process... This exFAT partition makes it so I can't install anything as there isn't enough room... Frustrating.

Thanks for any help tho!
