Hi,

If it is an EBS volume attached to your instance, you have to create a new one of the size you want, attach it to same instance and transfer content to it before releasing the big one.

This is all described with full detail in this article: https://medium.com/@m.yunan.helmy/decrease-the-size-of-ebs-volume-in-your-ec2-instance-ea326e951bce

Just follow the procedure described in it.

Best,

Didier
