I have an XP virtual machine in VMWare with a 30 gig HD image.
Once I did the fresh install of XP and used a few gigs, the HD image file expanded to a few gigs, as would be expected. I then copied over a large amount of data temporarily to the VM which brought the disk image to 12 gigs. I deleted that data, so I'm back down to a few gigs HD usage, but the disk image is still 12 gigs. Is there a way to compact it or something to free up that wasted space? Thanks
