what's the rational behind not deleting the virtual disk??
Hi,
I am new at using MS virtual server 2005 R2.
When I click to remove a virtual machine I created, it shows me the warning message which says it will not delete the v machine but will only remove from virtual server.
I am wondering what's the rational behind this? As far as I can think, it is only the waste of memory if I don't "delete" the v machine that I do not want.
Thanks..

I meant "rationale" when I said "rational"
and I meant waste of hard disk space when I said "waste of memory"
sorry for my bad English. English is not my native lang.
So, when I remove the virtual machine from v server, it does not DELETE the config file and vhd file. It only removes the virtual machine from the list in the virtual server.
So, if I really want to DELETE the config file and vhd file, I have to go into the folder and delete.

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

when you delete a virtual machine from Virtual server, it only remove the configure files from virtual server
and the virtual machine file will not deleted and you can open it by VPC , or add it again.
it will just used your hard disk space , do not waste the memory.
