I split my harddrive by mistake

[swimup]

I somehow managed to split my Local C: drive, into a C: drive, and a E: drive as you can see in the picture. How do i reverse this?

I think you can use Acronis Disk Director to merge it back into one drive. But I would backup everything first just in case something goes wrong.

Try opening explorer and navigating to C:\Windows\system32 and open compmgmt and go to Diskmanagment try see if E: is removable if it is remove and go to C:. and try expand volume. If above doesn't work back up important data and reinstall windows

First off, welcome to the forum! 

This is a fairly easy fix. Right click the windows icon in the bottom left, then click disk management,  pick your C drive (Probably labeled "Disk 0"), delete the smaller volume, then right click on local disk, then click expand volume. That should do it for ya!

It doesn't need to be a removable volume to delete it. It's also much faster to get to disk management from the windows admin menu.

Search in Windows for Disk Management (can also be called "Create and format hard disk partitions") and right click on your C Drive and click on Extend Volume
