Are you sure?

Hypothetically speaking, say you have a 20000mb windows partition with
10000mb of data contained in 10000 files. Are you telling me that
gparted will not happily resize that windows partition from 20000mb to
15000mb and re-arrange all that data to be more efficiently stored on
the partition too?
