I am using windows 10. My total memory is 500GM.

I am having 50 GB in C and remaining in D Drive. C Drive memory is not enough and i have installed most of the softwares in D Drive only. Basic softwares taking lot of memory in C.

How can i transfer the memory from D to C. Without taking backup at anywhere and delete the system.

If it is not possible, how can i clean my C Drive Space.

As option, if your D volume has some free space and both C and D are NTFS vols, you can shrink "D" and extend "C".

Process is described here

Main idea is:

  • Run build-in "Disk Managment" tool. In start menu you can find it as "Create and format hard disk partitions"
  • Find your hard drive in list and select volume with free space available to shrink. enter image description here
  • Enter how much you want to "cut" from larger volume.enter image description here
  • And select your smaller "C" volume to extend. Unallocated space should be available to "stick".enter image description here

If you have one hard drive which is partitioned in two parts then you can reduce the size of second partition and add it to the first one (only if the two partitions are after one another and no space between them.

Most partitioning programs should be able to do it.

In this case I give you the instructions for mini partition wizard:

  1. Open the mini partition wizard

  2. Right click on your C drive and click extend (this will get the free space from next partition and add it to the one before in this case from D to C)

  3. After that a windows will popup asks you how much space do you want to take (from the next drive)

    The maximum space that you can take depends on the amount of free space that your partition has.

  4. After selecting your desired amount of space, on the top left side of the main window click apply and let it finish.

    If it asks you to restart your PC (which I don't think it will for extending) then click on restart then don't do anything. It will automatically restart your PC. In the startup it won't boot Windows, instead it will load the mini partition wizard. Let it finish and do not turn off your PC during the partitioning as it can cause data loss.
