Solved -Not Enough Space to Create Partition Issue

Not Enough Space Available on The Disk

When using Windows Disk Management to create a new partition, but sometimes it is unable to create new simple volume from free space . Let’s look at an true example:

“I deleted a partition of 100GB which was Drive D instead of going into unallocated space, it became free space. When I tried to create a simple volume, it gives an error that “there is not enough space on the disk for this operation” If I try to delete it, then a warning pops up saying that it might be inaccessible on deletion and after accepting that it gives the error that not enough space. How can I get this back?” — from sevenforums

This example shows you that it is likely to encounter not enough space to create partition issue. If you want to create a new partition for data storage, you may receive such a warning.

In this case, you may feel very upset. Why can’t create partition? Maybe it is because of the limitation of Disk Management, and it requires that there are no partitions located after the space you are trying to work with.
