Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello,

I created a 550GB dynamic VHDX running windows server 2012 R2 using Hyper-V.

The problem is that there is no space left in the windows server 2012 R2. The actual space being used is 267 GB (Which I checked by clicking properties of all folders inside C drive) inside the windows server 2012, used space is being shown as 548GB. I have deleted a lot of files, but still the same problem is there. I do not see any free space.

Now I am not talking about compacting the .VHDX Image File Size (say from 550 GB to 250 GB) (which I have already done with no success in reducing the VHDX image file size, but that doesn't matter to me now), I am talking about the free space inside the VM i.e. when I connect to the VM, and click My Computer, it is showing no space left out of 550GB, whereas it should say 282 GB FREE Space. 

Any clue as to why I am facing this space issue? I guess this VM will stop working when there is 0 free space? How to solve this?
