Disk Management

diskmgmt.msc

The graphical console for viewing, partitioning, formatting, and assigning drive letters to disks — the GUI counterpart to diskpart.

// EXAMPLE

Shrinking a partition to free up unallocated space, then creating a new partition in that space, through the graphical wizard.

// GOTCHA

Deleting a volume through Disk Management has no safety net beyond the confirmation dialog — always confirm the drive letter and size before deleting.
