How to Increase C Drive Space in Windows 11 without Formatting
I ran into the same issue with my C drive running low on space in Windows 11, while my D drive had plenty. Since Disk Management didn’t have the extend option for C, I used Partition Master to reallocate space from D to C without formatting or reinstalling anything. It was quick, and I didn’t lose any data—super helpful for freeing up space without the hassle!

It’s handled everything I’ve needed—resizing, merging, formatting—with data safety as a priority.
JakeChail One simple way to add more space to C drive is by moving large files to an external drive. First, identify the largest files and folders on your C drive that can be moved. You can use tools like TreeSize Free or the built-in Storage settings in Windows 11 to visualize what’s taking up the most space.
- Connect your external drive to the computer.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to the files you want to move.
- Select the files or folders, right-click, and choose Cut.
- Navigate to your external drive in File Explorer, right-click, and choose Paste.
- Verify that the files have been copied correctly before deleting them from the C drive.
This is one of the best ways to increase C drive space in Windows 11 without formatting!
