I can't get a volume to shrink.
I have tried vairous defrag programs to maximize free space, turned off
paging.
They still leave some small stuff at the end, and I can't tell how to
get rid of it so I can shrink the volume.
HELP!
 
Do you mean shrink a Partition?
Are you using Disk Management?

Yes, while there is alot of space available 30 gb out of 60, it won't allow
me to shrink at all as there are some file near the end.

I have used to differeent compression programs, and shut off paging, but
still an't do it?
 
Bill,
You can force it to shrink by entering the amount of space to shrink in MB.

Experiment with it by Entering 10,000,000 MB ( that's 10 gb)
I have done this without losing any programs.

I wouldn't go below 40 gb for your OP size.

Better make that 10,000 MB to start with (10 gb)

Eventually it resolved itself, by removing more intalled software and
recompressing using Perfect Disk Rx
