The defragmenter built into Windows only defragments (that is, it combines pieces of one file scattered across the disk into one), but you need to transfer files scattered in different physical places on the disk to the beginning of the disk. Use a third party defragmenter.
In addition, many third-party programs that allow you to shrink a disk can immediately defragment it.
Make a bootable flash drive with disk tools, boot from it and defragment and then compress.
Or, from a flash drive, do only defragmentation, and perform compression with built-in tools already from your native Windows.
You can use Acronis Disk Director or something else. I recommend this set as a constructor for a bootable flash drive .

Boot from LiveCD and do it in it.

First you need to do a defragmentation with data transfer.
And then it's better to go through the sdelete utility from MS, it will clean up the place.
