All options related to partitions are greyed out in Disk Manager, so I can't extend, reduce or delete anything with it.

I find it hard to believe that a partition cannot be deleted in Disk Manager.

I advise that you don't try however since this is obviously not your area of expertise and bad stuff could happen if a mistake is made.

A third-party tool like EaseUS Partition Master will often succeed when the built-in Disk Management fails:

Failing that, booting into a Linux live CD will do the job, albeit a rather more technical process.

Easeus is great but I found MiniTool Partition Wizard Free had one or two extra small advantages (I forget which now)

They are both more or less identical though and do what people want.
Windows Disk Managment is rubbish and has frequently greyed out functions.


I'm not a great fan of Windows Search either.
Try 'Everything Search' which is lightning quick on all indexed drive File and Folder Names.
Indexing is usually only a minute or 2 at most too.

Edit: MTPW has a bootable option and no Ads/Nags?

Easeus may permit Live resizing on partitions that are in use, sometimes?
