Unfortunately you cannot remove shelves from a Data Domain without destroying the filesystem and losing all data stored.
There is a new 'storage migration' feature that allows you to migrate storage from one (or more) older shelf/shelves to a new larger shelf but not to remove shelves from a live DD and reduce the filesystem size.
Capacity cannot be reduced. But if you would like to reuse the shelves from DD890 on DD990 then you can explore options of replicating the data from DD890, let me know if you want to explore this options and then I can suggest the steps.

Hey,
It's an old topic, but wondering can we do it now with DDOS version 7 or not
