disk size problm after copying a large file to the VM then disconnected

Dear Sir

I have a VM with allowances dynamic storage virtual hard drive of 300 GB,.

HE on that disk space is 50 GB.

Ive copied on it a 100 GB file so now space space disc is 150 GB and 150 GB is free.

Ive deleted the file 100 GB of the virtual machine, but am supersized now that the file of the virtual machine is still 150 GB in size.

What should do? as it fits the 50 GB after deleting the file from the virtual machine.

Hello

Yes it is planned.

You have copied a huge file in the virtual computer-> who is the virtual disk in order to accommodate the new file->

You remove the huge file-> your take off just to comments operating system, the file in the list of the directory->

Your data is still there, it does not erase the data and rewrite from scratch.

In order to recover the disk space, you need a number of things:

-first of all your guests, OS file system must be supported (Windows FAT/NTFS is)

-Your guest must be stopped

-The type of the guest operating system disk should not be preallocated.

-Your host operating system might need a lot of free space on the drive according to your VM disk configuration.

If stored in several files, you must have a few GB free (size of the Ramdisk / 32) Go, but say more than 4 GB, keep 10 GB free to be on the safe side.

If your virtual machine is stored in a single file, so you must have your used VM disk size + a few GB of free... for example. If your virtual disk is currently using 200 GB you need tell 204 GB free before starting the operation of a compact disc.

Then in the configuration of VMware go into settings of virtual machines:

Use the 'Compact disc' button.

Be very very patient and wait, because you want to get 100GB which will take some time.

  • Cannot open iphoto library after copy old HARD drive to the new HARD disk

    I had to buy a new MacBook and recover my files, the old MacBook HARD drive is connected to the new via a USB connection and support base.  I have successfully transferred all my files to the new disk.   However, I can't open the iPhoto library that I just moved through without going through the old drive still connected.  I get a message like "cannot open the migrated library.   However, the new iPhoto on the new laptop is accessible OK.

    Yu try to open the iPhoto Photos or iPhoto library?  "Cannot open the migrated library" alert indicates, that you opened the library on Photos for Mac and application Photos changed the name of the library ".migratedphotolibrary" file extension

    If you open the photo library, but want to use with iPhoto, change the extension of your iPhoto in ".photolibrary" library file name

  • Thunderbird does not work properly after copying old content profile in the new profile, what can I do

    My old laptop crashed, but fortunately I got the hard drive out, who now works as an external drive. I installed TB on my new laptop computer. I copied the contents of the old file to profile in the new profile file and start of TB. I have all my files of pace, but TB does nog works correctly. After that connection, it takes forever to load the new messages, when I leave a message to another, the first answer I get is "TB not responding' and after a few minutes, I finally get to the next message. Same story with 'reply' or 'delete '. I already tried to delete the index file and have tuberculosis still indexing message folders, but this did not help.

    I noticed that my old profile files seems to have a sort of double files in the subfolder Mail, old accounts. For example: pop.tele2.nl, pop.tele2 - 1.nl, pop.tele2 - 2.nl. I'm not sure what they are (they seem to hold different versions?) or is it relevant?

    When I search the AppData/Roaming/profiles I'll find it (on the old and the new hard disk as well) but I can not navigate on him (some parents of hidden file)? I checked the rights on the files of my account profile (Administrator rights). I don't know what to do more, so I hope to help.

    Re: for example: pop.tele2.nl, pop.tele2 - 1.nl, pop.tele2 - 2.nl.
    Here's the e-mail accounts for pop e-mail account. If you have several addresses on the same server, it will have the same name but an additional example:-1 appended to the name. If you got an e-mail account, it can also create and add the additional number. Why you have several, I can't say with certainty what caused them without knowing what you have done. The point being, you must have the directory Local pointing to one that is correct and has all your existing emails.

    Profile files are hidden files.

    Info on profile:
    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

    What local directory is set to the e-mail account?
    "Tools" > "Account settings" > "Server settings" for the e-mail account
    bottom right under "Local Directory"
    It will say something like this:
    C:\Users\User account name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abc12345.default\Mail\pop.tele2.nl

    Copy paste the info on this issue, so I don't know which e-mail account you use.

    How many email accounts you listed in the left pane in the account settings? You have just the one pop email account and local folders?

    What antivirus do you use?
    If you McAfee please read;

    How many emails you have in the Inbox folder?
    It is advisable to use the Inbox folder as a mailbox for incoming mail, and not as a general storage. Suggest you create folders and move all the emails in the Inbox in other appropriate folders, then right-click on Inbox and select "Compact".

    Good info explaining what is compaction and why it is important:

    It is also a good idea to Archive mail older than a few months.
    Implemented for archive by month and keep the structure of archive folders. These emails will still be visible by 'Archives' folder and in your profile, but check-in will reduce the size of files and therefore less memory use during their opening.

  • What happens if you delete a large file over the encryption process

    I understand that Bitlocker creates a file large placeholder during the initial encryption process, leaving about 6 GB free. So I was wondering, what happens if during this process, you remove one or more of your files and empty trash, in turn leaving for example tens of gigabytes of free space "new"? Bitlocker placeholders file will not automatically increase after that. This little 'will become' what Bitlocker is trying to accomplish?

    I know not if interrupt you the process and continue another day, a large placeholder file will be recreated then also fill the space you released they sleep (which is not the case in the same session when you remove some of your files).

  • Large files, with the signature on each page

    Hi, I'm trying to find a good solution to get my boss who is on the road a lot to seal our architectural drawings.  The files are large and often have a lot of pages.  (my current project is 21 pages and measures 15 M)... I used before eSign by e-mail and that's great, but I wonder if there is a solution for large files?

    Thanks for your thoughts...

  • My incoming mail messages "stuck" after a message large file download, so that no additional message charge

    I use Thunderbird to retrieve messages from a pop server. She usually works well, but sometimes as a result of an email with a large attachment, will only re - retrieve this message on a continuous loop, without having to download any other message. I try to remove some of the previous incoming emails, and sometimes this frees up the download. Today, after 4 days of trying, nothing is downloading. All incoming messages are being rated.

    Go to the suppliers page web mail email and delete the email problem here. See if that frees up your other emails.

  • Copy a single file to the new folder and remain in multiple versions

    Hello. I am looking for assistance in the next issue. I have a script that helps me to look for a file name and rename it and I have a script that looks like a file and moves it to a new folder. I need one that will combine the two aspects in one based on the example as follows:

    I have a picture but need to rename the same file in several versions. (i.e. original image name 7HABLH.jpg to be copied to a new location and renamed with several different names 6HABLH_01.jpg, 6HABLH_02.jpg, 6HABLH_03.jpg, etc...). This produces even a lot of pictures and are all contained in a CSV file that is configured as below

    My end result would be the image in the folder/column 'OldImageName' is copied into a new folder and renamed the folder/column "NewImageName." Hope my request is logical that I am a poster the first time also trying to learn the script but I don't have a lot of time to achieve and could use as much help as possible.

    Hope that someone out there may be able to help.

  • How can I get several pages of a book that is copied to a file on my computer then I email the file to others?

    Many of us get together to read and discuss books in Spanish.  I can't buy this book via the web, so I copy a chapter or two and make this available each month as we work on this book.  I just want to make a file so I can send this information directly to the members of our group.

    Apart from copyright issues, you must buy a scanner and scanned it at a place like Kinko's or staples.  You must save the files scanned in pdf format if you can.

  • After playback of MP3 files, random symbols will then show the name of file in XP

    Basically I'm on Xp, service pack 3 and for a while now, from time to time when I played usually a mp3 or other similar in windows media player, 10 minutes later it will pick a random file from my music folder and add a Japanese symbol at random at the end of the file name.

    Like "be the one" is played, 10 minutes later "be [a]" will now be the file name, only it never appears as the actual symbol, just a square, until you see the name on the windows media playlist where she will be written correctly
    So random, files are defined in the standard. Any help

    Hello again once, yes I ran the scanner.

    My avg updates automatically and I manually ran the update function, and it IS up to date
    I also managed to clear Media Player cache by entering the file manually.
    And as for now the problem disappeared, but as I said earlier, he arrived at random intervals and sometimes takes minutes so he could arrive and sometimes takes weeks. So I'll come back if it comes back. But so far no there no return
    Thank you for your hard work and dedication
  • recovery of a large file when the recycling bin is deleted.

    Hi there, im trying to recover I deleted the file outlook pst, ive tried "Recuva" and it shows the 17 GB as unrecoverable file. Is it possible to retrieve the file? I have vista Home premium 32 bit sp2. Thanks a lot, Olly

    The file is probably unrecoverable, and there is nothing to do.  If a recovery program says that it is unrecoverable, it is almost certain that any recovery program will be the same as they do the same thing.
