When a partition runs out of space, many users settle this problem by directly moving files from one partition to another, which is indeed but expediency. Later on, with files incessantly stored onto this partition, low disk space problem will reoccur. Even if users are willing to perform this complicated operation again and again, file damage or data loss is very likely to take place during moving operation. Apart from this, almost useless solution, in fact we have better, safer and more efficient solution to resolve low disk space situation, namely resizing partition by shrinking partition free space from another neighboring partition to increase partition running out of disk space. All we need to realize this operation is employing a professional partition magic capable of resizing partition.

Resizing partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard
The principle of resizing partition is quite simple, namely, shrinking partition free space from one partition for increasing partition undergoing low disk space condition. On partition magic, MiniTool Partition Wizard, it doesn’t entail professional partition knowledge to easily operate this partition magic for users. The following image is the main interface of this partition magic:
So which operations should we perform to successfully resize partition? Suppose that we are to extend E:. Now, according to above-mentioned explanation, we must first acquire unallocated free space by shrinking a adjacent partition to E:. From the partition status, we know F: possesses excessive free space, so we can shrink F: to gain an unallocated near E:.
First, select F: in this interface and then click "Move/Resize" at toolbar to enter next interface.
In this interface, we should drag the border (left black triangle) on partition handle from left to right to shrink F:. Click "OK" after setting to return main interface. Then we can see an unallocated space appears before F:, which is the very unallocated space shrunk from F:.
Possessing an unallocated space, we can extend E: by selecting E: and meanwhile clicking "Move/Resize" at toolbar to activate next interface.
There is subtle difference in operation after entering this interface. The grey zone at the right side of right partition handle border means unallocated space. Now, we can directly drag this right-oriented triangle rightwards to extend E:. Click "OK" after setting to return to main interface again.
Now we can notice the unallocated has disappeared and E: has been extended and the extended size is almost as much as the size of unallocated space. beware don’t quit this partition magic in a hurry as all partition status you see currently is a preview effect and we must click "Apply" at the left side of toolbar to realize all changes and pending operations. A moment later, all operations will be genuinely realized.
Through above explanation, I believe user should have a general knowledge and a crush on MiniTool Partition Wizard partition magic. If hoping to learn more information on the partition magic, please log on to official website http://www.partitionwizard.com.
