c partition

About this tag
The C partition is the primary drive partition where Windows is installed. Users often face low disk space issues on the C partition, especially when it is too small or filled with system files, the Windows folder, or user data. Common solutions include shrinking other partitions to extend the C partition, cleaning up unnecessary files, or using partition management tools. Some users also encounter problems formatting the C partition during a fresh Windows installation or when trying to resize it due to unmovable files. Proper partitioning at setup, such as allocating enough space for system and user files, can help avoid these issues.

Now while my User folder takes 18GB which is reasonable my Windows folder...
