I’m trying to download a game that’s almost 100GB and my PC is saying that I don’t have enough HD space. I know that I have a 1TB HD, but under “This PC” in File Explorer, it’s showing two different drives split up evenly. The one drive is “Local Disk C:” which is almost full at 476GB, and the other one is “New Volume D:” that is empty at 476GB. How can I merge these into one, or just use the free space to download this game? Thanks.
MiniTool Paritition Wizard Free, you can use that to merge both partitions into one.
Thank you!
This program worked great. Now I’ve got one drive that’s 953GB
Right click the start menu button and select Disk Management from the menu. Select New Volume D: and delete it. Then select Local Disk C: and open the Action menu at the top of the window to extend the volume into the unallocated space.
Do you have any data on New Volume D? If not (and be really sure), open disk manager, delete partition D so it becomes free space, and as long as the free space is right next to the C drive space, you can expand C: to take D
Again: be sure there is no data or data you want to keep on D: this will destroy the data. Back it up or move it off first.
I never suggest this to anyone who asks such a question as I can’t be sure whether the drive is actually empty even if they say it is, whereas using a software of some sort will always merge and push anything in the secondary partition into a folder.
