I have a virtual machine installed on Windows Server 2008 using Hyper-V. The VM is using Windows 7 as its OS. I had originally set the size of the dynamic disk to 40 GB but soon learned that wasn't large enough and expanded it to 110 GB.
Now I an no longer running the VM and need to reclaim some of that space while keeping the VM intact. I have run the compacting wizard, and it says the disk is now 24 GB with a maximum size of 110 GB. Yet all of that space is still allocated for the VM's use. How do I reclaim the empty space?
I have tried to go into the VM and shrink the current volume, but it says I don't have enough space to do so.
I appreciate any suggesions as I really need to reclaim some of that hdd space.
Thanks!
