$Logfile prevents the ability to shrink a partition

$

Hi

I have a 1TB drive with 2 partitions RAID 1

As the OS partition is nearly 500gb Most of it free) I want to shrink it.  After some research it seems I am unable to shrink the OS partition due to the fact that the NTFS system file "$logfiles" is located right a the end of the volume. 

I've tried numerous steps such as disabling virtual memory and De-fragmenting.

Is it even possible to move this file so I can shrink the volume?  If Windows cannot help me with this does anyone know of a free tool that could help me safely resize this partition?

Many thanks

Luke
