Are you talking about shrinking a partition?
yes
i have already split my c into 2
i wanna split more from my C to give to my other partition
i tried using minitool wizard partition
i did check disk file and stuff too tried re pairing
Right-click the start menu -> Disk Management
In Disk Management click on the C: drive in the menu, then click the partition you want to shrink down below and right-click. Select "Shrink Volume..." from the menu and select your desired size.

i wanna shrink 100gb out of it
but it aint letting me
Doing anything to an online (running) drive is relatively a PITA. I would start with defragging the drive and repeat and see if that changes anything, sometimes fragments exist in the space and it labels it as unmovable and prevents adjustments to the NTFS partition size.
Is this an HDD or an SSD?
NVME
Is it managed with third-party software? (I.e. Samsung Magician, etc.)
no its WDC

are you sure your C drive has 100gb to shrink?
it's not going to shrink past the point where it would destroy data
ok yea it seems you have 1300gb free
