Hi! I’m working on reducing your main drive size for dual booting Windows and Linux. Despite following several guides and clearing files, you’re still stuck because of those stubborn files. With over a TB of free space, it’s worth checking if there’s something missing. You’ve already disabled fast boot, hibernation, recovery options, and cleared the page file—rebooting helped too. The issue seems tied to the “$Mft::$BITMAP” error. Let me know if you’d like tips on advanced partitioning or troubleshooting.

It's best to rely solely on Minitool Partition Wizard for this task.

Seconded – connect via USB and run GParted. Both methods should function

upon launching in Windows, certain files remain fixed and won’t move easily. if they block your progress, try starting from another system—such as a Linux live USB using tools like GParted.
