Reclaim of free space from thick provision is valid. Reclaim of free space from thin disk, i dont think as a right choice.
Its already in such a way that the free space is not used. only as the data grows disk is used.
any way. vmkfstools command was used to reclaim free disk space.
But from vsphere its not possible to use vmkfstools to reclaim the free disk space, i mean shrink of vmdk.
YOu can use vmware standalone convertor best tool to do this and also a free tolol. coverter the VM and during customization screen reduce the disk space as you want.
