Virtual Hard disk created in hyper-v

Hi There

I am using windows 10 Pro, and had a virtual machine installed using Hyper-V with two virtual HDD in that VM.

Recently I had some problem with my Windows 10 OS and had to reset my windows with keeping all the files and settings, and it installed a new windows 10 for me, and also I cleaned the old windows folders.

Now the problem is, the old virtual hard disk space still showing as used within my current disk space,
i.e.
Total HDD capacity: 500gb
Total current file size: 30.9 gb
Free space: 342gb only!!!

The reset of the space was allocated to virtual machine in my previous windows installation, and is there any way that I can delete the VHD and have the space into my current disk space?

Your advice is highly appreciated

Thank you

That 2nd picture only shows the size of directory d8e6.... not the whole drive. The whole drive you have used ~120GB as shown in top picture.

Try downloading Treezize free and run as administrator - it will show you what is taking the space and where..

By default Hyper-V disks are stored in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\ so probably they'll be under C:\Windows.old\Users\Public etc but it will be easier to look with Treesize.

Hi lx07,

Thank you so much for your quick support,

I found the VHD files in my current windows folder, deleted them and got my free space back, I guess I must have moved from old to new windows installed.
