Solved HELP -Windows / SSD Reporting Two Free Space Values??

[BillS22]

My SSD reports two different free space amounts.

In C Drive / Properties I have 107GB free
Yet in Disk Management it reports only 9GB free


I want to create a Over Provisioning Partition, and my Samsung Dashboard says there's mot enough space. It appears that the Samsung software reports what Disk Management sees.

How do I free up the space I need?
Remember, this is a SSD, so I think Defrag / Claim Free Space is out....

Hello Bill mate what size is the drive? and can you post a shot of the disk management?

I am no expert but seeing as you have been waiting for an answer it might be worth just having a look. I have no idea by what you mean by Over Provisioning Partition though so you will have to bear with me.
