I was trying to shrink one drive (in order to add the space to another one), using Computer Management -> Disk Management. However, it told me that the space for shrinking is 0.

How can that be? The disk is only around half full. What might be the cause of that?

  • Which drive are you trying to Shrink? Which roles does the partition have assigned to it according to Disk Management (Boot, System, etc.)?

  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Thanks for the putting in the time to help out. It says: Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition.

  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 It also says "Healthy" so I assume this is not a special case error.

  • gotcha, yeah, Windows won't let you shrink files with unmovable files that are in the way (boot files, page files, etc.). Luckily this has already been asked and answered several times on here. :)
