VMware Server 1.0.3 ~ host OS: XP Pro ~ guest OS: XP Pro
Hi all,
As a VMware newbie with limited technical knowledge I would be grateful for some pointers on what I have done wrong and, more importantly, how to put it right...
I have been experimenting with creating VMs (with 8Gb fully formatted partitions) and trying different settings and configurations. As a result, whenever I have learned something and wanted to start over I have been removing the dud VM from the inventory and deleting the VN from the Virtual Machine directory. However, I have noticed that, as a result of doing this the amount of free space on the host drive has dropped from 76Gb to circa 20Gb. In other words, it appears that the virtual disk of the removed/deleted VM is not being unmapped from the physical host disk.
What have I been doing wrong and how do I get the 50+Gb back?
All constructive suggestions very welcome.
TIA
Keith
