How to reduce space disk for a REDHAT VM installed on VM Workstation PRO on Windows 10.

[MichBU]

Hello,

First Happy New Year to all of you.

I have already posted a request for reducing space disk for a Windows VM and was very successful.

Now, I have the same request for a second REDHAT VM  installed on my Windows 10 and workstation PRO. Looks like that the space is growing too much as far I can see tha trough Windows Explorator. 

Hope you can help and support.
Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am back to you because the REDHAT VM is  growing very fast and now I fear to have disk space problems.

Could you please help and support me during this subject as you did it for the Windows VM.

As I answered previoulsy I try to start solving this problem so no actions at this point. 

I checked the start point from my last post on Windows VM , for example based on filelist, so I attach to this message the filelist resulting from command dir *.*... 

 I really need some help and advices

Thanks in advance and hope receiving answers from you.
