    Any of the usual tools can do this, but it requires being offline. The volume cannot be mounted/in use. – Michael Hampton Jul 17 '21 at 12:06
  • What are the usual tools? Something other as Gparted? Do you know any know that will work portable within windows. Unmount volume, shrink, remount volume? – Carsten Krüger Jul 17 '21 at 15:15
