• Remove the disc hard virtual does not remove the vmdk files

  Hi guys

  I have 2 virtual disks attached with 1 VM. I'm trying to get rid of the 2nd virtual disk. After removing successfully without error, it seems always on the data as _1.vmdk store. I presume that it must automatically disappeared from the store of data too.

  I can add this disc again and start the virtual machine without problem.

  In the past, I have deleted the virtual machine complete and all the associated HDs went but this is the first time I remove 1 hard drive.

  any advice?

  Thanks to the adv.

  Sure! If you select, the virtual disk will be removed only from the virtual machine, but it will always be in the data store. just like what you are facing now. For your needs, you wil had to select B, where the virtual disk will be removed form the machine virtual and then permanently deleted.

  Hope it will be much clearer to you now...

• CTK. The VMDK files will be created automatically

  We have a virtual machine called ISTQB, yesterday morning, it was noted that it is offline. On the survey, we found that the virtual machine has a 'necessary consolidation' message. I completed the consolidation that has failed. Investigation of the data store in which resides the virtual computer, we found CTK. VMDK files for each of the hard disks. After some research, I removed the CTK. VMDK files and succeeded in turning on the virtual computer. Now, we would like to know how this happened? The problems seem to start at about 07:06 25/06/2014.

  Can someone explain or share your point of view on this.

  A file separate .ctk is created for each virtual disk file (hard), i.e. for basic disks, but also snapshots. Once a snapshot is deleted, its associated .ctk file is also deleted. However .ctk of the virtual disk file base/parent is updated and is NOT cleared, which is the behavior expected/wanted

  I would say that you do not remove the .ctk files manually, unless you are invited by the VMware Support, for example to do!

• the VMDK files are more and more and more...

  I have vmware 8.01 with two virtual machines. OS Win7 64 bit ultimate host, guests are win7 ultimate 32-bit. The first VM was created by workstation, with 80 GB of HARD drive and this virtual machine works very well, the vmdk file size is constant.

  The second was created by the virtualization of a physical machine. It has 298 GB of HARD drive. I created it three months ago, and now the size of this virtual machine is 505 Gb in the host file system. This virtual machine, called 'Prospero' has ten vmdk files:

  Prospero.VMDK 240 GB

  Prospero - 000001.vmdk 19 GB

  Prospero - 000002.vmdk Gb 116

  Prospero - 000003.vmdk 40 GB

  Prospero - 000004.vmdk 56 GB

  Prospero - 000005.vmdk 12 GB

  Prospero - 000006.vmdk 3.3 GB

  Prospero - 000007.vmdk 4.3 GB

  Prospero - 000008.vmdk 13 GB

  Prospero - 000009.vmdk 14 GB

  Yesterday, the size of the last file vmdk file was only 500 MB. It is now 14 GB.

  Initially, I set the snapshot generation and later I switch, but the growth of the size of the vmdk files continues day after day.

  Said VMWare tools: 'the fret is disabled for this virtual machine.

  What can I do to stop this more and return to the normal size of 298 GB?

  I've attached the vmx file.

  Welcome to the community,

  Initially I set the snapshot generation, and later I turned off...

  It seems that you have the "characteristic" Autoprotect is always enabled. The .vmx file still contains many entries of "RollingTier". You will need to disable Autoprotect for the virtual machine and then remove snapshots using the Snapshot Manager.

• How to shrink the VMDK file?

  Hi all

  Today, I spread a hard disk to increase the size of the drive on one of the virtual machine.  Later due to required requirements is no longer the hard drive. Therefore, it is possible to remove the disc that I extended?

  Thanks in advance

  There is no way to shrink the vmdk file.

  Only create new, smaller size, replicate data and delete everything first.

  If you need temporary space then create the new disk and simply remove it when it is no longer necessary.

• If I reinstall the original software, which removes the existing files from my hard drive?

  I accidentally deleted programs that my computer needs access to the Internet.  I tried the system restore, but nothing.  Can I re - install the original software without compromising documents on the hard drive?

  Thank you

  Hi Jill,

  Yes, reinstall the programs would not remove the existing files on your hard drive. Your old files remain unchanged

• PC DM files: my hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder. How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?

  My hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder.  How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?  Vista Home Premium 64 bit is my os.

  Hi templar_39,

  DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

  This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

  Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

  If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

  Step 1: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct

• I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

  I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

  To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.
  
  If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

  Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

  Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

  (a) start Windows Media Player.
  
  (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

  (c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.
  
  (d) click on the Search button.

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .
  
  For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

  Method 2:

  After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

  Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

  Let us know the results.

• flying over the vmdk files after storage vmotion

  People,

  I finished a few vmotions storage and I see that there are some vmdk files left belonging to a virtual machine by flying over in the source data store.

  Storage vmotion however was very good. Time last modified files are several months old.

  If the vmdk files are old players was dismantled some time back?

  There are also a few - zdump.000 left side files in source data warehouses. should you be worried about those?

  Rahul-

  Although I suppose the files are orphans, I always double-check for use before deleting. Virtual disk file (hard) can be changed only in case Active snapshots exist for them. What you can do is run RVTools, to see if these files appear as 'Zombies' and if so, I would say you first create a subdirectory and move the "orphans" files above and - if everything continues to work as expected - delete at a later date. Alternatively you can check the vmware.log of the virtual machine file to see if the files appear here.

  Zdump files are created if something unexpected occurs. However, it is difficult to say what the brought to be created and if they are old and have any problems, you can delete just them.
