When you get the courage up:

- Right click on the partitions you don’t want, click delete and they will be come unallocated space, leave them as unallocated.​
- Don’t do anything to the partition that has your data on it​
- After deleting unwanted partitions, right click on the drive you are keeping and select “Move/Resize”​
- Use the slider tool to adjust the size of the partition you are keeping, by dragging the marker across the unallocated space​
- When you are happy, click “Apply”​
​
You can perform multiple actions on your drives and then click “Apply”, everything you asked Minitools to do will then be done all together.
For example: Delete > Create > Format > Label > Click “Apply”​
Everything you just asked Minitools to do will then be done in one action in order of what you performed. Some actions take a while, it will display it’s progress as it goes.​
With the above actions chosen:​
The partition will be deleted >​
A partition will be created >​
The partition will be formatted >​
Your partition will be labeled.​

⚠️ Just make very sure you are not touching your OS drive.

And for piece of mind, copy (not cut & paste) your needed files to an external or another drive. You will find after performing the above actions, your files will still be on the drive that you resized..

Never! :eek1: The boomerang might hit you in the back of your head🪃

Just backup your stuff would be the safest rout for you to calm your concerns 🙏

Forget the multiple actions, perform one action at a time. Take your time, trust in the software. Don’t touch the OS drive and never eat yellow snow!

Progress 🙌

Disk 1
  • Right click on the last partitions and “Delete”Delete them. If there is data on them that you want, copy it to the D: Drive. And if you are worried aboy the D: Drive, copy all that is on D: Drive to another drive as a backup
  • Open Minitools, right click on the D: Drive and select “Move/Resize:
  • Drag the ends to expand the drive to encompass all of the Disk, or in the “Unallocated Space Before” and the “Unallocated Space After” enter “0.00”
  • Click Apply
Disk 3 Do the same
  • Open Minitools, right click on the E: Drive and select “Move/Resize:
  • Drag the left side to expand the drive to encompass all of the Disk, or in the “Unallocated Space Before” enter “0.00”
  • Click Apply
I wont advise on Disk 4 and the unallocated space at the end. If it were me I would resize the C: Drive to swallow it but I am not sure if it is supposed to be there
B: I am still not sure if it is supposed to be there. I don’t believe so.
Let someone else tell you. But the truth is, it isn’t detrimental or hurting anything that I know of.

Ok; drive 4 is not going to get done unless I do a new image which is not a problem. Losing dive 4 in any way would be a monumental disaster.
As you can see the NEW 4t HHD has been given a new job.
Thanks again for the assistance.

I don’t think you need to worry about Disk 4 unless the unallocated space bothers you. To do a system image backup would also include that unallocated space as an image images the whole disk not just the C: Drive, when imaged correctly.

Disk 1 is a mess. There is nearly 24GB that can be reclaimed.
Disk 2 looks perfect
Disk 3 still has the unallocated. Again, if it doesn’t bother you you can leave it. It’s only 129MB. But you did well with the other, you’re getting braver 🙏

You’re just lucky that I am actually married to a Canadian. She kept saying, “Help Him… Help Him!”

Good reason. Busy couple of days but I came back for another look. Just have to decide what I want to do with the two unallocated spaces. Will read your notes. Fat 32 space I assume will have to stay. 2024-05-25_12-07-43.png

Disk 3 is easy, just right click and resize, drag the left of E: all the way to the left. Files don’t get deleyted when resizing.

As for the C Drive, you might possibly want to created a thread and ask why you have 2 unallocated partitions on it. Over 200GB I might add. I don’t know enough to be confident in telling you how to address your OS Drive.
Other than that, you’re doing well (y)

Cheers 🙏

OK. Perhaps you have to create a partition out of the unallocated space the delete the 128MB drive/partition again? Just right click on the 128MB and “delete”

I have seen this before but forget why I had it. Might have been something to do with it being a GPT format. I can’t remember. And for goodness sake, make sure it’s the 128MB partition you’re deleting 🙏
