What is the easiest way, w/o data loss - to shrink a windows vm in proxmox?

Hello.
I have a vm which used to hold alot of data in it. most of the data has been moved and the size needs to shrink. i can possibly build another server and load sql on it - and migrate the files, but is there an easier way? This hardware info is as follows: I'd like to reduce it in 1/2 or more if possible. Not to familar with clonezilla or other tools and unsure if that program works with a windows o/s or not.

The main reasoning is that the image is quite large and with replication and backups, it's going to get 'out of control' before to long - not to mention being able to free up space for other machines.

thanks -
