Deleting unused parts of disk

Question

Hello, i updated win10 to win11 and i used it for a couple of weeks, it was time to dust my pc(unplugged only the cables), after cleaning i got BSoD(it was error kinda "efi bootloader"), fixed it. After i checked disk manager and saw 2 unused parts of disk, tried to delete it from there and using other software, but unsuccessfully. Can you help to solve this problem?

Answer 1

The 763 MB of unallocated space (10 + 753) can be used.

In order to use it the partitions need to moved.

This can be accomplished with third party software.

(MiniTool partition wizard, Disk Genius, etc.)

Disk Management often does not display all partitions on a disk drive.
(the hidden partitions are not seen)

Normally a GPT partition has 4 default partitions.
The reserved partition is hidden and typically not seen in disk management.
The recovery partition is missing and was likely the 753 MB partition.

If you use a bootable Media Creation Tool MCT (windows 10 iso) or if you routinely make backup images then you can do without a recovery partition.
However it is handy when there are Windows problems, for example, failure to boot.

See Partition Layout:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions?view=windows-11

In order to see the hidden partitions open administrative command prompt and copy and paste (all at one time):

diskpart
lis dis
det dis
lis vol
lis par
sel par 1
det par
sel par 2
det par
sel par 3
det par
sel par 4
det par
sel par 5
det par
sel dis 1
det dis
lis par
sel par 1

sel par 2

Answer 2

How to Delete Unallocated Partition or Space in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7?

Answer 3

The computer has unallocated space.
There is nothing to delete in unallocated space.
The maximum space that can be used is less than 1 GB.
The 763 MB may be able to be used however in almost all cases it is not worth the time and effort.
