Absolutely bonkers how quickly and efficiently you can deliver complex information in an easily understandable way. You could tell me to hard brick my computer and i would do it in a heart beat. Keep it up sir.
I wanted to say the same thing. Simple mergre and delete anyone can do but I was having hard time getting those free space from C drive. Don't know why views are so less
It's 2023 and from last 3 hours i was suffering from the fault, only from your video i got my solution and its solved really thanks for such important helpful video.

Thank you! This was an absolutely beautiful and elegant solution with a detailed guide to come with. I have been trying to fix this for the past two weeks and your video was all it took!
I‘m from Uzbekistan. I searched for any information that wasn't solved this problem, but I can't. Now, I saw your video, and I fixed my problem. Thanks bro
The best tutorial on the web, you helped me to get literally 120 Gb extra from 40 Gb. It was actually System Volume Information problem in my case. Nice tutorial, keep going
I am facing the same problem. How did you solve that? The System Volume Information file is not show even when show hidden folders option is tick marked.
Man, you saved me! Thanks a lot! Even Viewer told me that one of ESET antivirus file could not be removed. I uninstalled antivirus and started to work.

use "fsutil usn createjournal m=0 a=0 C:" on cmd as administrator, then it must show something that ends in 0887::$DATA you go on and use "fsutil usn queryjournal C:". After all that it shows something that should end in BITMAP, he has a video about that one.
Hey, I have 450 gigs of free space but I am able to only shrink upto 140 gig, It says "The last unmovable file appears to be: \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA", what should I do in this case ?

THANK YOU!!! I was trying to use Defrag’s to be able to partition my SSD for over-provisioning, and it made the available shrink size 0! This helped me find and fix the issues.
@@itarmy2778 Hi, need your help again, I follow your method previously and everything works like wonder. I am a little stuck on this one. I did the exact procedure again but I left 2 file on the local c: not sure if that causing it as I still unable to shrank the 1tb ssd drive. 1 file AMTAG.bin 2 file dumpStack.log.tmp Thank youi in advance
@@itarmy2778 The latest issue is that, after I disable all 3 of the pagefile, hibern and restore point and reboot, everything works fine as I can see that I am able to shrink the drive. As soon as I re-enabled the 3 files and reboot then I am back to the original issue that I cannot shrink a volume beyond the point. Its very strange? If I want to shrink the drive again I can go and disable it all but doesn't seem right to do that each time to perform a shrink drive?
Dude awesome man...very simple and easy to follow...thanks a lot...u saved me a lot of time..going to the service center and all that...thanks once again
Very good and detailed video One thing just skipped is that to turn off the hidden files at the end. Other wise your system will show you thr hidden files everywhere
Thaky you so much fella, It helped! PS. if amount of available space to shrink is only half of the disk size, simply re-open Disk Management multiple times and it will get to maxim available level.
Big thank you! Easy to follow instuctions solved my problem. Now I have my partition for Linux on my old Laptop. I didn't want to wipe the laptop because I occasionally use the Windows side. Thank you!
Yes great summary, also 4) perform a Volume check (CHKDSK) ... 5) Defragment Volume ... 6) then if still not ok use 3rd party, I use Paragon HDM, EaseUs is Chinese.
He is the best ever TH-camr , thanku for helping us ♥️ i was totally mad how to delete those files n make new partition thank god i have clicked at this legit video . Once again thanks sir ,peace ✌️
my defrag problem was System Volume Information and after emptying it I am able to shrink my volume space to only 11gb. and now the problem is: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\mpenginedb.db-wal::$DATA . how am i supposed to solve that now? thanks.
