Assuming your machine does have unused space on the disk, lets go thru an example of how to expand the C: partition. To manage disks and partitions on Server Core, use the diskpart.exe command-line utility. But, of course, this MMC is not available on Windows Server Core. But, how does Windows recognize this space, and incorporate it into the filesystem? Normally, one would go into the Disk Management MMC, and simply expand it there. As it is often the case, the Windows machine is a virtual machine, such that additional space can be allocated to the VM simply by adding to the size of the virtual disk.
