How to Delete, Merge, and Increase Hard Disk Partitions

Sometimes, your C drive runs low on space because extra partitions have been created. If you want to delete, merge, or expand partitions, follow these simple steps using Windows Disk Management.

Step 1: Open Disk Management

1. Right-click on "This PC" (or "My Computer").
2. Select Manage.
3. Click on Disk Management in the left panel.
4. You will now see a list of all the partitions on your hard drive.

Step 2: Delete an Unwanted Partition

1. Locate the partition you want to delete.
2. Right-click on the partition and choose Delete Volume.
3. Confirm the deletion. The partition will now be marked as Unallocated space.

Step 3: Merge the Unallocated Space with Another Partition

1. Locate the drive you want to increase in size (e.g., the C drive).
2. Right-click on it and select Extend Volume.
3. Click Next, then select the unallocated space.
4. Click Next again, then Finish.

Final Result:

The unallocated space is now added to your selected partition, increasing its storage capacity.
