Can't resize my drive, because there are unmovable files at the end

There are two unmovable files at the end of my partition, which prevents "Disk management" to resize the drive properly.

The files are:
Syscache.hve.LOG.1
Syscache.hve

There is no shadow copy running, and the System Restore feature is turned off.
Any ideas how could I move these files? (Let MyDefrag defrag them...)

OS: Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1

Apache

1Apparently native Windows Defrag will move these files. Give that a bash. – None – 2012-07-16T22:55:41.890

@RandolphWest - Post that as an answer. ("Disk Cleanup" and the native Defrag did the thing. Thank you!) – Apache – 2012-07-16T23:00:11.863

Apparently native Windows Defrag will move those files for you. Give that a bash.

If that fails, use GParted Live Disc. That will do the job.
(Remember. Always backup before such a resize. Oh, and "Pendrive Linux 1 2 3" will help you make a bootable USB drive from the .iso, if that is your wish.)

I gave it a try yesterday, it took hours to defrag. First it seemed the problem is fixed, the mentioned two files have disappeared. Yet, I can't resize my partition. Only 44gb can be chipped off. – Apache – 2012-07-17T10:24:02.257

Okay, GParted live cd time! – Apache – 2012-07-17T10:37:23.740

In times like this, I use fsutil and resize the NTFS journal. Usually that helps. – None – 2012-07-17T19:08:43.203
