⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watch this video to find out how to recover data after compacting a virtual hard disk. We will explore what types of virtual hard disks are there, and how you can reduce the hard disk size of your virtual machine. 
When a virtual machine is created by the hypervisor, it receives a virtual hard disk of dynamic type by default. Such disks increase their size as more and more data is written to them. Unfortunately, their size doesn’t shrink back when you remove any data from there. In the end, the virtual machine size keeps growing until the physical disk runs out of free space. To reduce the virtual machine disk size after deleting certain files, there is an option to compact the disk which can be found in your machine settings. In today’s video, you’ll see how to compact a virtual machine disk in such hypervisors as VMware, Hyper-V and VirtualBox, and how to recover data from compacted disks.
