**Purpose**:
|
|
Sometimes you are running a virtual machine and are running out of space, and want to expand the operating system disk. However, there is a recovery partition to-the-right of the operating system partition. When this happens, you have to delete that partition in order to expand the storage space for the operating system.
|
|
|
|
Open a powershell window and run the following commands:
|
|
``` powershell
|
|
diskpart # (1)
|
|
list disk # (2)
|
|
select disk 0 # (3)
|
|
select partition 4 # (4)
|
|
delete partition override # (5)
|
|
select partition # (6)
|
|
extend # (7)
|
|
exit # (8)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. This opens the disk management
|
|
2. This displays all disks attached to the device.
|
|
3. Ensure this disk number corresponds to the operating system disk. Open the Disk Management GUI if you are not 100% certain.
|
|
4. This partition number is for the partition of type "Recovery"
|
|
5. This instructs the computer to delete the partition and ignore the fact that it was a recovery partition.
|
|
6. You want to select the operating system partition now, so we can expand it.
|
|
7. This will expand the operating system partition into the unallocated space that is now available to it.
|
|
8. Gracefully close the disk management CLI utility. |
