Need to regain space or Shrink disk in VMware & Server 2008

$

So I made the mistake of allocating too much space to one of our Windows Guests.

 

I gave it 2TB and then we only ended up using 300GB.  The space hasn't been added to the volume yet in Windows... it's just sitting there... but I can't pull it back.

 

My web searches have found LOTS of articles on how to extend drives (not sure why extending drives needs so much discussion)  But I'm having one HECK of a time finding ANYTHING about shrinking a drive.

 

Only things I've found on shrinking them are in regards to WorkStation.

 

One method I tried was a V2V, hoping that it would give me the option to resize it during that process... it does not.

 

Any articles, assistance that anyone could provide would be helpful!

 

Thanks again VMware Community!!!!
