I have two main drives on my laptop, C-drive (100GB) and D-Drive(1TB). My C-drive has become very full and I have not managed to be able to move files and applications stored on the c-drive over to the d-drive. They are both separate physical drives as partitioning does not work. Is it possible that I can move storage space from the d-drive to c-drive some other way? If not, please can you let me know how I can move the files over without just creating a new shortcut. I am on Windows 10

  • Personal files can be moved easily. –  May 08 '19 at 17:16
  • @GabrielaGarcia , a vast majority of my personal files are very low in size, so they do not impact the total storage used up by much. I need to be able to move larger files such as the videos file, and applications – matt6297 May 08 '19 at 17:20
  • Video files are personal files. The OS and installed software didn; t create nor need them. Most applications in Windows can be installed in a different drive but if they're currently running from a SSD you'll notice much less performance when installed in a HDD. –  May 08 '19 at 17:23

maybe you have too much Temporary files junk so just open file explorer, copypaste this in the address box: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp and see what's in there... you can safely delete anything.

  • I typed that in, but I couldnt find anything larger than 16mb, and there is still 52 gb according to the storage application – matt6297 May 16 '19 at 05:28
  • I'd recommend you to use one out of these 3 programs that can scan your drive and tell you the size of every folder: [WinDirStat](https://windirstat.net/) / [SpaceSniffer](https://www.fosshub.com/SpaceSniffer.html) / [TreeSize](https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/index.shtml) – computationalprince May 16 '19 at 07:50
