3 months agoI seem to remember disabling hibernation and swapfile, then defragging, seemed to significantly increase the chances of success shrinking an active partition.
(Re-enable hibernation/swap after the shrink operation is finished.)

I’m getting GlaDOS vibes from this one.
Definitely don’t defrag regularly because, yes, it will wear out the SSD. However, defragging once will move the files into a contiguous chunk of the partition and allow you greater success at shrinking it.
