Hi
Ntfsresize can shrink and I  *think* it is included in Ubuntu. Alternatively get hold of gparted disk whcih will give you a GUI interface.

Assuming the ubuntu partition is after the w*****s one, you cannot resize
backwards into empty space, However it sounds as if you don't mind reinstalling ubuntu. In that case it is a matter of shrinking the
w......s partition to match the filesyste, and recreating everything else,
which can be doen with gparted or cfdisk (my personal favourite).

Regards,
