Go to solution Solved by LamoidZombieDog,

Right click allocated spaces and remove them. Then format the one large space and make it 4tb

I have a 4 TB WD Blue hard drive and right now it's is only showing up as 1.9 TB with the rest being unallocated space that I can not expand to. Even when wiping the drive the unallocated space was still split and I could not combine the 2 sections of space. I don't really know how to fix this kind of stuff so I need help

You probably formatted it using MBR instead of GPT. Wipe the drive, set the partition-layout to GPT.
