Defragment with Window's built in utility. Shrink with Window's built
in utility. That's what I'd suggest. I wouldn't use any 3rd party
utility for this, except maybe ntfsprogs in a bind.

i tried defragging and using win shrink utility, but it did not move
locked file down low enough to get desirable reduced size. iirc, it
only allowed shrinkage to about 80% of original.
I did not use defragging.
I just used the shrinkage util and it worked.
I think the shrinkage util defrags and moves
files/dirs as well. Not sure how it does that.
My guess is that whatever part of the windows kernel
assumes that certain dirs are at a particular location,
it knows how to change that to the new location so
kernel can access it.
