VHDX file
Howdy,
I have a dynamically expanding virtual server. The VHDX file is 400gb but the actual space used on the machine is only 100gb.. i had cleaned up the server and removed 100's of gb worth of data. My question is how do i now get my VHDX file back down to a smaller size?

Make sure to back things up before, during, and one time just prior to removing the old VHDX. Once complete, delete the old VHDX. Done.
