Can you use GParted? That works great. You can shrink a partition on a
drive that has enough space, and make a new one in the resulting empty
space. Format the new partition,
with a Linux file system. Then you can make a directory on the the new
partition and copy files by any of the normal means from your existing
partition to the new one. Best if you
have two drives, so put the new partition on the second drive, so now
you have a nice backup.

i am afraid during "apt-get update"
it finds copy of Packages and Translations
that have been downloaded before
and it check and use it instead of download
that is why update is quickl

Which filesystem type do you have for /? How long ago did you
install? Was
Stretch a fresh installation, or an upgrade from Jessie?

I like Stretch better, though not that much.
Next time, install another alongside, in multiboot, instead of
replacing. Then
if you don't like it, just don't use it. If you do, good, and the
old one can be
a rescue tool, and a place to install the next new version.
