How can I expand my drive space?

[Gemma151]

Recently, I accidentally find that my C drive has only 5% of free space left and the computer also begins to remind me the low disk space problems. But, there is still a partition that is nearly empty. So, I think perhaps I can add the free space of this partition to my C drive. Do you think it is possible? How can do that? Please, help me!

C Drive?

I am going to assume this is a Windows VM running in Proxmox. You can use the disk management utility to expand the C drive onto the other disk.

The best way would be to create a new larger disk and image the C drive to this new disk, then replace the old disk with the new larger one.

Also another option is to delete some files from the C drive, perhaps there are temporary files or something else wasting space that can be deleted.

Depending on the windows version you are using. If you have 2008 and up you have the ability to expanding your disk inside disk management utility. If you are running windows 2003 and below you can use a tool like partedmagic free tool to expand the disk I have had success with both methods.
