Trying to free up space on HyperV server

I currently only have one Exchange 2013 VM running on the HyperV 2012 R2 server.  I have resized the storage on the VM and I'm wondering if it didn't free up the space properly. We are only actually using 192GB in that VM, I wouldn't think that would take up the whole 1TB drive. Is there anything I can do to free up space?

• HyperV C: 71.7 GB Free of 838 GB 765 Used
• Grace-Exch VM C: 235 GB free of 427 GB 192 GB Used

Files on the HyperV C drive.      
• Exch.vhdx 405GB
• Exch.avhdx 324GB
C:\HyperV VHD\Exch\Virt Mach 24 GB .bin
