Reduce EBS volume

I know about increasing, but is there a way reduce the si开发者_Python百科ze of an EBS volume? Like I've put effort into my AMI but soon realized it's way to big for my needs. It's a windows 2008 instance.

You can make a snapshot of the volume and then create an ebs volume from the snapshot which is smaller. The snapshot will have a 'volume size' to give you an idea of how small you can go as I understand it.

I guess if the snapshot route doesn't work, you can just create the smaller volume, copy the larger to the smaller and then get rid of the larger.

No answer. It seems like you can't do it.
