Windows 10 318GB of Reserved Space

[BlessedNoob]

So i tried to download Batman Arkham Knight, and at some point it stopped downloading, canceled i guess. When i started allocating disk space i had about 100 GB of space left. So i clicked install. Then when it got canceled somehow, it says i only have 45 GB of space left even though there no local content for Batman. I then when to storage, on Windows 10. and it says Batman is only 8.5 MB. Then in the System & Resered section it says that 318 GB are being used for reserve space out of my 595 GB. How do i change that? i dont think my PC need 318 GB of reserved space to work.

Hi BlessedNoob

This is for Windows 7. however it should be similar procedure for W10 except the user interface. Make sure to backup any important personal files before you mess with partitions.
You can shrink the reserved partition Go here: https://www.petri.com/shrink-system-partition-in-windows-7

Hope this helps as I've never had to do it, so please report back.

The last time i did this, it wiped everything and i had to do a fresh Win 10 install
