I wanted to create a system image, but I got the "not enough disk space" error. The target disk is more than big enough, so it must be the source. I followed this article, and deleted the journal from the System Reserved partition, but still only 5% is free from the 100MB.

fsutil usn deletejournal /N /D Q:

Normally around 70% is free. I want to get there, and the article did not help.

I have a recovery disk, how can I format the System Reserved partition?
Is it safe? Or how else can I reset it?

  • You don't want to shrink the partition your asking about you actually want to expand it so it meets the requirements of what you are trying to do ( by having 50MB free on partitions less then 350MB )

  • I do not want to expand the partition, I want to remove the unneccessary files.

I still do not know what used up so much space.
However, I booted from a Linux pendrive, formatted the System Reserved to NTFS, set it active, and then I just used the Windows Install pendrive to repair the boot partition.

I was able to create a system image without a problem now.
