Maybe I'm missing the point here, but defrag won't shrink a volume. It will only optimize it.

Subject: [NTSysADM] shrinking OS volume fails and crashes


Hi all,


After having deleted a huge directory (400GB) I am unable to shrink the 
volume (2012 r2 )



Disk mgmnt, shows capacity  1024GB free space 980.84GB 96& free


in defrag , or Optimization as its called now, shows 50% space 
efficiency , is there something I'm missing



And it doesn't matter if I try to shrink it by 1 , 10 or 100 GB the 
system just crashes, then upon restart i get windows had an error


any help would be appreciated
