delete unallocated volume

[ArielStu]

Hi

I see the Boot partition  c:  50 GB   then i have an unallocated partition  300GB   (on the same Disk 0 which is Virtual)

i powered off the VM,   to decrease the  Disk 1  in the VM Settings,   to get  a total of 50 GB,   instead of  50 GB, but is greyed out,

when the Vm is powered on is also greyed out

any ideas

Thanks

You cannot decrease the size of a virtual disk in the VMs settings. Instead use VMware Converter which allows you to define the target disk size in the advanced settings.

Note: If the virtual disk size is grayed out even though the VM is powered off, the VM most likely has an active snapshot.

or boot with gparted (free live Linux with GUI) and do the work (or use diskpart if it's a Windows VM)

first you have delete the snapshot from the VM and then shutdown the VM to decrease the size of the vopume or delete the un-allocated Disk.

Go to virtual machine setting, in tab hardware choose hdd. Then clik compact.
