I cannot extend my c disk. My extra space is after a recovery partition of 450MB that appears to be empty. So can I delete it and then extend the c drive with my free space? Here is my state from disk management:
steps you can take to extend your C: drive:
- Backup Data: Ensure you have a backup of important data before making changes.
- Check Recovery Partition: Verify the recovery partition is empty or no longer needed. You can do this by right-clicking the partition in Disk Management and selecting Properties.
- Delete Recovery Partition: If the recovery partition is not needed, right-click it in Disk Management and select Delete Volume to free up space.
- Extend C: Drive:
After deleting the recovery partition, you should see unallocated space.
Right-click the C: drive in Disk Management and select Extend Volume to add the unallocated space to your C: drive.
