## Compact Windows disk
|
||
|
|
1. on Windows guest system:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
.\sdelete.exe c: -z
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
2. on Linux host system:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
vboxmanage modifymedium --compact /path/to/vm/disk.vdi
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: disk size will grow during the `sdelete.exe` process; then, it can be compacted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: if you don't have enough disk space to allow the expansion, just do it in multiple steps, by stopping `sdelete.exe` as soon as the host's disk is almost full.
