Hi! I understand what you are telling me, but I was thinking that being a disk that is part of a file server machine therefore in continuous saving and deleting data. If, on the other hand, I create a 700gb thick mode disk, the space used by the vmdk file will immediately be 700gb and will not change abnormally over time. Quite right?

Excuse me but at this point I will give a practical example: I have a virtual machine with a secondary data disk set in thin mode with maximum 1,536 GB. today the vmdk file is 1,593 GB in size, with a data fill of 456 GB. now if i create a new 700gb file in thik mode, that way i am sure the disk won't get bigger than 700gb? do I save myself any subsequent work?

Good evening, I have a vSphere Client version 6.7.0.42000 framework. I have numerous virtual machines, but I note that the size of the vmdk file inside the storega is much higher than the space occupied by the data inside the windows virtual machine. To give you an idea, data occupied 500 GB vmdk file size 1500 GB. I have no snaptshots and the disks are in think mode. I am aware that some differences are normal, I would like to understand how to fix the situation. Thanks
