I usually use gparted: GUIs are sometimes easier for one-off tasks.

Booting Windows repairs the damage.  So this is the most effective way
of shrinking.



When I was first migrating linux onto M$ boxn my little mantra was defrag,
dump, resize, restore.
Didn't always work the magic correctly tho. :-(

I never tried to shrink windows more than 50%, so I can't say for certain
how much a fat partition may be shrunk.

On the bright side, I realized I could usually clone the drive, switch
jumpers to the new master and tool my way around. I use to lug two or three
drives around with me for such times.
