Resize C: Drive and move files above old size.
Win7 Pro, DD11, two 250gb drives, 4gb ram, Dell Optiplex 750.
I want to resize my C: drive smaller
. Does DD11 move files that are above the size of the new partition? Same question for Copy? Thank you.

Hello
Thank you for responding.
I think you misunderstood my question. I know that I cannot resize a volume to less than its utilized space. I am wondering, instead, if files that are located above the new upper limit of the volume's allocation will be moved on a resize operation. I am concerned because I know the volume is fragmented, and that there are files near the top of the original upper end, the upper end being what I want to move down. Thank you.

Hi Alex,
when you shrink the partition all files are moved accordingly so there are no files are removed or cut.
Thank you,
