Removing a hidden parition on a hard drive

GiantDwarf01 · Dec 3, 2013

Hi so I have a 1 TB SSD that's only showing 250 or so GB total (not left but total), when trying to figure out why this is I found in the defragment drives there's another drive that's named "\\?\Volume{13c674f6-5c55-11e3-be65-806e6f6e6963}\" and it's media type is an SSD as well, so I figure that's what's taking all my space. The problem is it doesn't show up anywhere else and I have no idea how to remove it and give the space back to my main hard drive. Any ideas?

This is not normal. Is this a new SSD? If this is a Windows machine, from the start button, run the command diskmgmt.msc
This brings up the disk management interface. This will list what drives Windows sees and how big the partitions are including non partitioned areas. You can delete a partition from there or reclaim unused space.

It's a fairly new drive though I've been using it for about 2-3 months. the disk management interface only shows a system partition of 350 MB, my C: drive which is 223.23 GB and my second hard drive which is 931.51 GB (this one is just my storage device and is a normal hard drive not an SSD). as far as I can tell there's no unused space anywhere
