Deleting a partition with Partition Expert

I am working on an old PC that has 4 partitions. I successfully increased the free space on C: from an empty one [F:]. However, F: is still displayed in Windows Explorer as having 47 megs used. So, I deleted F:, which got rid of it in Windows Explorer. But in Partition Expert it still shows it as using 47 megs of space and as "unallocated". Is there a way to get rid of that 47 megs of space, move it over to C: and get rid of F: altogether?

THANKS!

Jeff

 

Hi, Colvin

Have you tried a reboot of your system, Jeff and see it it clears it in PE.

Yes, it shows as "unallocated space" with 47 megs used.

 

Hi, Covin

Is F: in an extended Partition?

Try using your BootDisk [if you made one, if not I advise you to] to recover the space.

I do all my Partitioning with the BootCD.

Ilya,

Normally, I would gladly do as you requested. However, the machine I was working on had terminal problems and consequently it was fdisked, reformatted and a clean install done. Thus this has become a moot issue.

Thanks, anyway!
