Bitlocker a valid usb key was not detected - how to remove a .vhdx

I discovered a .vhdx within OneDriveTemp. Probably I have created a test drive in the past(?) I don't know.Regretfully I am not able to open it. As I never used it, I believe I won't miss it either. Such a .vhdx file on OneDrive is useless anyhow: it would take ages to sync.

Now, I am considering to delete it. In view of the size, still I would like to see what may be stored on it.

I can mount it, but when trying to unlock it, it requires a key on an USB. I have only 1 .BEK (assuming that this is the file required) but that does not work.

FWIW, not knowing whether it may have something to do with it: within gpedit.msc Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption nothing has been configured, i.e. all settings are default.



Any suggestions as to how to proceed on this?

Unfortunately, if you don't have the recovery key for it, then you are done. You won't be able to open it.

In that case, proceed to deletion
