Sometimes, it requires a reboot to complete the task. As you see from the screenshot above, it offers many other features. You can use it to shrink a partition as long as there is free space.Ĭompared to Disk Management, this program allows you to move partition, which means you can add unallocated space to any partition on the same disk whether it is adjacent or not. If you are still not content with the shrink space amount, you should try this program, EaseUS Partition Master. Bonus: Shrink volume with free softwareĪfter trying these steps above, you certainly can increase the shrinkable space. Then you can shrink volume without receiving the error “there is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation”. To open a command prompt window, you can press Windows + R key, type “cmd” in the bx and press Enter.Īfter all these steps, the shrinkable space should be increased. In case otherwise, you can run the command “powercfg /hibernate off “in the Command Prompt. This may not be necessary because the Hibernation mode is disabled by default in Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10.
In the new pop window, click on the drop-down menu under “Write debugging information” and select “None” to disable the kernel memory dump.
Also, my backup program had not run in over a week so it was past time to start it again.In the same Advanced Settings, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. I had already wasted too much time on this so it was time to move on. The files would then no longer be fragmented. I ended up deleting all the backups and creating new backups.īTW, I may have tried copying the files to another drive and copying them back. Even deleting the older backups so the drive was down to 20% used did not seem to help. De-fragmenting seem to stall even after several days at 20%. What made it worse was that several of the backup files were over 1TB in size. I noticed there was a problem when my backup program estimated it would take over 24 hours to back up my 2 x 2TB internal SSDs. Would the data automatically be copied back in a defragmented way?I had the same problem with my 12TB external hard drive. Will it be quicker if I move the data off to another drive, then copy it back.

Running a defrag is taking days with no end in site. I have a 14tb HDD that's 90% full and windows says 80% defragmented.
