Dylanopen The Disk Management tool has a built-in utility that allows users to increase the size of a drive partition, like the C drive, by adding unallocated disk space. This feature is especially useful when a partition runs out of space, as it enables users to expand the existing partition without deleting files or reinstalling the operating system.
How extend c drive when C drive is full in Windows 10:
- Right-click on This PC and select Manage. Then go to Disk Management.
- If there’s unallocated space next to the C drive, right-click the C drive and select Extend Volume.

Note: Disk Management only allows extending if there’s unallocated space directly next to the C drive.
