In this video I'm going to show you how to delete the files that prevents you from shrinking the partition. In case this video didn't work, please check following method • Cannot shrink a volume...
I tried this method , and later changed every settings back to normal as shown. But my pc isn't working normally. Games like csgo is showing - werfault.exe error . Please helppppppp , even chrome isn't opening.
Thanks, I am able to make some space available to shrink on my D drive by following these steps but still not all of free space is available to shrink. Event log - defrag shows bitmap as well in addition to three issues you have covered. Can you plz suggest how to fix this make all of my D drive’s free space available to shrink.
@@itarmy2778 Application logs show I have defrag issues with system volume information, so should I only do the part related to system volume information, recovery, all i have to do all steps?
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
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.
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!
use "fsutil usn createjournal m=0 a=0 C:" on cmd as administrator, then it must show something that ends in 0887::$DATA you go on and use "fsutil usn queryjournal C:". After all that it shows something that should end in BITMAP, he has a video about that one.
It's 2023 and from last 3 hours i was suffering from the fault, only from your video i got my solution and its solved really thanks for such important helpful video.
Man, you saved me! Thanks a lot! Even Viewer told me that one of ESET antivirus file could not be removed. I uninstalled antivirus and started to work.
The best tutorial on the web, you helped me to get literally 120 Gb extra from 40 Gb. It was actually System Volume Information problem in my case. Nice tutorial, keep going
I am facing the same problem. How did you solve that? The System Volume Information file is not show even when show hidden folders option is tick marked.
Ah here we go again, some Indian guy that really helpful making some tutorial in depth. Man, I just want to say thank you very much for your video, no bullshit, straight to the point, and your explanation is so frickin good. I already subscribe you. You deserve more subscriber!!!!
Hey, I have 450 gigs of free space but I am able to only shrink upto 140 gig, It says "The last unmovable file appears to be: \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA", what should I do in this case ?
thank you so much! I had problems to shrink the volume when it didnt have 6 digits, only 5 digits appeared on the shrink list. your tutorial really helped me alot!!
You're welcome, happy to help you. Not sure what keyword you used, but if you search for "cannot shrink a volume beyond the point" in any search engine you get the link of this video.
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
@『77』3amoryツ index is basically a map for your computer to know where your files are to search and open them faster. Once you remove the index, you can resize the partition, but files and folders might load a little slower at first, before the system makes indexes again
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.
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
However, my disk is 1K. After system reserving I get 930GB, then after Win 10 installation and other data remaining around 730GB. And after all the troubleshooting I'm only getting 112521MB its around 109GB... Now what to do?
@@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?
Thank you, bro! I needed that to install Debian/Windows 10 on dual boot. Now I have both OS on my workstation! PRO tip for those with laptops: it MIGHT be possible for you to encounter problems at dual booting. On my Desktop I didn't encounter any at all (I just had to work around showing my Windows 10 on booting, but that literally took me 10 minutes to fix, so I didn't lose anything).
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!
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 ✌️
Good video! Unfortunately after following all the steps, I still cannot shrink the partition. My event viewer doesn't list any "Diagnostic details" like the last unmoveable file, the way yours does at 1:40. Do you have any suggestion what other unmoveable files might be causing problems?
It would be disrespectful to not thank you bro. I really appreciate your video. I am going to subscribe to your channel to help your network and get more great incites. Thanks again brother!!
Dear Brother , Im Srilankan . Last few days I was trying to overcome this problem but couldn't . In this video I did it & many thanks also wish happy future !
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.
Please check the following video for easier method. th-cam.com/video/2OvAMAUpeig/w-d-xo.html
