Shrinking Tempdb in SQL Server won’t work?

Problem statement

When I was working DML operation on the database, Tempdb has grown  80 GB. After the completion, It is noted that the tempdb has grown significantly larger and I didn’t have much space on this Server. I tried shrinking the mdf file of tempdb. It executes successfully but no space is released to OS. Is restarting the SQL Server the only way to release the space. Can you please…
