Linux has many file systems. You may wish to look up XFS or BTRFS or
similar if EXT4 doesn't do what you want.

A naive search mentions "resize2fs":

NTFS can be resized (shrunk) since Vista. There shouldn't be any worries
about it "breaking" Windows, but you may have to cooperate with its
boot manager BCD (via third-party EasyBCD or similar):
