You can check if there is enough available disk space without
defragmenting, with ntfsresize :
ntfsresize -i /dev/sda1 # or whatever is your ntfs partition
ntfsresize -n --size <new size> /dev/sda1
These two commands only show/test what can be done, without changing
anything on the disk.
If you feel ready for the change :
fdisk -l /dev/sda # and keep a copy of the output
ntfsresize --size <new size> /dev/sda1 # this time without -n
fdisk /dev/sda
Delete the old sda1 and recreate it with the same start and a size at
least sufficient to hold the resized ntfs. Don't forget to change the
type of the partition, and activate it.
ntfsresize -fi /dev/sda1
If it reports any problem, undo what has been done with fdisk.
Restart Windows and let it do its FS check.
This has worked for me, but as always : ymmv, be careful.
