    Hello, I made my first partition in my Hard Drive today. I labled it "F" Win8.
    I figured 50GB would be good size. Now I have nothing on that partition so I thought I would like to Delete it. I read something that I should give that 50GB back to my C drive. Can someone give step by step instructions please..
    Sorry about this,,,

    I can't give step-by-step instructions because I haven't done it with Windows before.

    I have found it in Windows 7 Help and Support under "Reclaim disk space after restoring your computer from a system image backup ".

    It is just a matter of having the freespace available by deleting the old partition, then go to Disk Management, right-click on the "Windows" drive and select "Extend Volume ". Note that it works on what the partitioning I expect is similar to yours!

    This is, of course, somewhat (a little) risky, so do a full backup.

    I haven't used Windows partitioning software because it has limitations. I use Paragon Partition Manager.

    Right-click the new Volume and select Delete Volume.

    Next right-click your C Volume and select Extend Volume. Step through the wizard and add the Unallocated space to your C volume.
