For example, if you need to shrink the partition further, you can use Control Panel to move the paging file or stored shadow copies to another disk, delete the stored shadow copies, shrink the volume, and then move the paging file back to the disk. In some cases, you can relocate the file temporarily. When you provide the querycluster parameter, the command output identifies the unmovable file that's preventing the shrink operation from succeeding.
If you know the cluster(s) associated with the file that's preventing the shrink operation, you can also use the fsutil command at a command prompt (enter fsutil volume querycluster /? for usage). If the shrink operation fails, check the Application Log for Event 259, which identifies the unmovable file. Also, you can't decrease the allocated space beyond the point where the unmovable files are located. When you shrink a partition, certain files like the paging file or the shadow copy storage area can't be automatically relocated. If you don't specify a desired or minimum size, the command reclaims the maximum amount of space possible. The minimum amount of space, in megabytes, to recover to the current partition. The amount of space, in megabytes, to recover to the current partition. If the partition includes unmovable files, such as the page file or the shadow copy storage area, the volume shrinks to the point where the unmovable files are located. Shrinks the volume with focus to create unallocated space. On a basic disk, selecting a volume also gives the corresponding partition focus. You can specify the volume by number, drive letter, or mount point path. If no volume is specified, the select command lists the current volume with focus.
Selects the specified volume, where volumenumber is the volume number, and gives it focus. Shrink the selected volume to desiredsize in megabytes (MB) if possible or to minimumsize if desiredsize is too large.ĭisplays a list of basic and dynamic volumes on all disks.
