[QUOTE="lokamoka820, post: 1104383, member: 108773"] "Windows Disk Management" can only shrink a partition if there is unused space at the end. (It truncates the unused blocks from the end.) It seems that you only have 16 MB of unused space at the end. The rest of the 100 GB is probably spread over the rest of the partition. Try to run "Defragment and Optimize Drives" first. This will hopefully move files from the end of the partition forward, allowing for more space. If that doesn't give satisfactory results, you need a 3rd party partitioning utility that can re-organize the partition contents and do the re-size for you. I used [URL='https://www.minitool.com/partition-manager/partition-wizard-home.html']MiniTool Partition Wizard Free[/URL] in the past, but after using Linux I start using [URL='https://gparted.org/']GParted[/URL] and really no need for anything else, you can use it on any Linux distribution, it is easy and efficient.
