Windows 10: Accidentally deleted disk D to extend disk C, Apps showing The specified path does not exist.

So i tried to extend my C drive with minitool. I moved all files except 2 "program files" and windowsapp file. I moved my files to a new disk partition, E drive. After the C drive extended using the free storage space on D drive, i tried to make the E drive as main drive for files and delete D drive without minding about the progam files left in the drive. After i deleted D drive and restarted my pc, I can't open any installed apps and system keep showing "The specified path does not exist" even though the path of the file is on C drive

Deleted Disk Drive D

Hi S -

This is Orlando, an Independent Advisor and an expert with windows 10. I understand you're deleted your D drive to expand your C drive but the option is grayed out.

Is the C partition and D partition are on the same drive or disk?

how are you trying to expand the C drive?

If the drive D is a separate drive then extending the C drive will not be possible as they don't share the same drive volume. You can take back the D drive again by allocating it on your computer. To do that;

1. Open the disk management by pressing the windows key + r and type diskmgmt.msc

2. Once open, you will notice an unallocated space below which is the deleted D drive, you can just right click on it and select New Simple Volume. Follow the instruction next to re-allocate the drive D on your computer.

3. Once drive is created, it will automatically assign a letter on the drive and you can check it on the file explorer.

However if the D drive is on the same drive as your C, you can use the process below to extend the volume of your C drive;

1. Open command prompt with administrator access

2. Type DiskPart and press enter

3. Type List Volume and press enter. It will list all the volume created on your drive including unallocated space

4. Locate what volume number your C drive is allocated.

5. Type Select Volume X >> where X is the number that corresponds with your C drive.

6. Type extend and press enter >> partition C will be extended with the unallocated space on your drive.

Limitations of Diskpart to extend C drive :

* Only when there is adjacent unallocated space on the right side of the to-be-extended partition, extend command is valid.

* Only NTFS partition is supported to extend. Namely, the FAT32 or exFAT partition cannot be enlarged.

* Unallocated space is not displayed in the command window, so you don't know whether there is and where it is.

* Operations cannot be undone, the incorrect operation could cause data loss.

The above method should extend your drive C if it meets all the requirements needed to extend the drive.

Hope this help, have a good day.

Thanks,
