The "Disk Cleanup" tool does not work for Windows 10 TP as guest OS in Workstation 11.1

Hi,

the "Disk Cleanup" tool ("VM" > "Manage" > "Clean Up Disks...") does not work for Windows 10 TP as guest OS in Workstation 11.1.

Although there are evidently gigabytes of unused space (i.e. 15GB vmdk file for 7GB actually used data), the disk cleanup tool reports me that "Cleanup is not necessary." In the past, this disk cleanup tool was able to reduce the vmdk file size to exactly the size of the used disk space, even if you have snapshots enabled. This was very useful. Please make it work again.  Either it's an incompatibility with Windows 10 TP (It has worked fine for Windows 8.1 in the past), or another bug in the recent Workstation build.

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Mario
