2.Expand storage then double click disk management to display all drives present on the system at the moment
3.Right click the drive of your choice then select shrink volume.Your computer will calculate the maximum amount of shrinkable volume then a window will appear allowing you to specify the amount of volume you want to shrink then click shrink.
