I don't remember us reducing the shadow storage.

Did you not do what I said in post 105 ??

1 (Red): Windows 10 x64 -s002.vmdk (48.8% - 3.9 GB)

2 (Red): Windows 10 x64 - s001.vmdk (39.8% - 3.2 GB)

3 (Green): pagefile.sys (57.1 % - 3.7 GB)

4 (Green): hiberfile.sys (42.9 % - 2.8 GB)

This looks OK. You seem to have 2 virtual Windows 10. We could get rid of the hiberfile and reduce the pagefile to 2GB, but it's not worth it. Your big problem is the shadowstorage. Once you reduced that, you should have plenty of free space.

All it will go to is 11.32 GB or 8.49 GB.

That's ok, take either one. And when done tell me what the disk looks like.

I set it to 11.32 GB.

And where is your used space now on the disk

216 free of 282 GB. Can I bring it down lower?

Well, I think that's a big step forward. You could get rid of one of your virtual machines - why do you have 2.. We could also delete the hiberfile if you don;t use hibernation. That's another appr. 4GBs.

I probably won't even use those virtual machines on this computer. So, I would like to delete them. As far as my hiber file, I am not sure about that one.
