Every time you reply you dig yourself in deeper.

"Your suggestions would only free up a small amount of space which would soon be lost again if anything else was installed. " How can you possibly know that?

It is quite possible that my suggestions can achieve an increase in free disk space of 4.2 gb or 30% of the partition. If they only achieve 25%, the problem will be resolved because the growth in used space will occur in future mainly on D and not C. You proposal just wastes space in an enlarged C partition.

Your comments were ill considered because you do not understand how to get the most of limited space on C . They were uninvited, misguided and unhelpful.

They were not ill considered at all. The OP has just 155mb free space
on a 14gb partition. It is obviously not large enough and needs to be
extended. There is 80gb free elsewhere on the drive

Your suggestions would only free up a small amount of space which
would soon be lost again if anything else was installed. It is best
to keep 30% of a drive free if best performance is to be had. The
ONLY way to do this is to extend the partition.

The OP has already moved 'photos etc' to the D drive and still there
is not enough free space. There is a very good chance that important
data other than Quicken has already been moved.

This is one of the most appropriate 'repartition' cases I have seen
in a while. I have no idea why you think the opposite.
