partitioning - Disk Management and Windows Explorer show different allocted sizes

I shrinked 50GB from my main bootcamp NTFS partition.
After a reboot my windows explorer now shows that drive C's total size is 90GB,

but the Disk Management tool in windows (and EaseUS Partition Manager) still shows 140GB (there is no unnalocated space).



How do I get my 50GB back?



Disk 0 should be 500GB:



DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---

* Disk 0 Online 465 GB 0 B

DISKPART> list partition

Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 200 MB 512 B
Partition 2 Primary 325 GB 200 MB
Partition 3 Primary 619 MB 325 GB
Partition 4 Primary 140 GB 325 GB



If I try to shrink another 100MB (maybe force a reload?) I get the following message:




The parameter is incorrect.




Partition 4 is mounted as C: but ony 90GB:

TotalCommander also shows a total of 90GB.



I've used chkdsk and EaseUS's error check with no luck.
