Warning please make sure you leave enough space for the files inside, or data may be lost.

First make sure the files system isn’t mounted then.

e2fsck -f /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_rootimg
resize2fs -p /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_rootimg 15G
lvreduce –size 15G /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_rootimg
resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_rootimg

This should reduce the file system to 15G
