Pearform Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Allow moving all files to the start (beginning) of the partition so that the partition can be easily resized by Windows Disk Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted August 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2016 often suggested, never implemented - yet. try a great little tool by EaseUS called Partition Master to resize partitions when the Windows Disk Management GUI can't do it due to data at the end of the partition. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it. Hopefully Piriform can implement this suggestion... especially since it's often suggested! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulous Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 +1 for this. I don't understand the free space is not made contiguous in the first place, as part of the normal algorithm. Surely it's just basic organisation of the disk not to have little 'islands' of isolated blocks floating in the sea of free space? As the OP suggested, a lot of people are defragging so they can shrink the drive, because they want to duel boot another OS. And where that is not the case, in the average user's mind it looks as though the program is not 'optimising' their disk as much as it could.
