Then, how to disable the unmovable files on Partition C will be shown in the next part. These files can’t be moved automatically by Windows 11/10 built-in tool Disk Management, so you’ll need to manually disable the unmovable files.Īs these files are hidden, you should uncheck Hide protected operating system files and check Show hidden files to see these files in Explore at first. What is wrong with it? Why can't I shrink my C drive even there is free space on partition C?Īctually, the answer is as same as the Disk Management message shows that the size of shrink space of C drive is limited by unmovable files such as Hibernation, Page files, and system protections. But what’s baffling is that there is 356.83 GB of Free Space on C drive. And the message shows that you can’t shrink a volume beyond the partition where any unmovable files are located.
When I enter Windows 11 Disk Management to start, the Shrink option is disabled no matter what value I type in the box behind “enter the amount of space to shrink in MB”. In order to create a new partition to store individual data, I want to shrink C drive from 200 GB to 100 GB.
