Decreasing storage for Windows BootCamp

Hi, I have 500 GB storage on my MacBook Air Catalina OS. And sometime in the past I build the Window OS using bootcamp and assigned 200GB to it without realizing I won't need that much like ever. And now I am running out of storage on my Mac side i.e. 5GB. Is there anyway I can shift the storage back to Mac from Windows without deleting it. I can delete the windows after backing up data in it but I don't want to do it if there is a neat & clean option available for such situation.


Thank you.

There is no native tool to do this cleanly. Third-party tools like Winclone would work.

Okay. I bought a external hard disk to move my Window's data and I ejected the Bootcamp from left panel. But it is still not freeing up the space in Storage section of "About This Mac". To remove the Windows partition, I thought I just have to eject the bootcamp. If it's not then please can you show me how to remove the windows partition completely so that I can use the free-up space on Mac OS.
