    Shrink volume size error. The last unmovable file appears to be: \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA

    Volume not shrinking due to an unmovable file

    My laptop has 512GB SSD.

    I want to shrink my C: drive. It has over 300GB free but I can only shrink upto 91,508 MB .

    I have disabled system restore, hibernation and stopped page files from being created.

    I checked the Application logs to see which file caused defrag problem.

    I found the following message:

    I don't know where to find \$BitMAp::$DATA so that I can try to move it if not delete.

    Please tell me what to do to get atleast 170Gb out of C: Drive.
