Reduce size: insufficient storage available
Reduce size: insufficient storage available
Hello. You're facing a common challenge when preparing your Windows drive for an Ubuntu installation. The system indicates insufficient space because it's trying to shrink the partition, but you've already freed up 130GB and are attempting a 35GB reduction. After cleaning up the HDD, disabling the pagefile and hyperfile, you're encountering the same problem across all three machines. You're aware that tools like gparted can help, yet Windows often places data at the end of the partition, which prevents further shrinking.
It shouldn’t be an issue, I’ve handled this many times before. However, you might prefer using EASUS disk manager as well. https://www.easeus.com/download/partition-manager.html
I see what you mean about your issue. My words were about the disk not being able to read 130GB of free space because it wasn't marked as an allocated drive.
