Host file is 40GB. How can I shrink the host file? I read the docs. They say to run the program « vmware-toolbox ». I don’t have that program. I do have « vmware-toolbox-cmd » but that isn’t any help. For a Linux guest it basically boils down to using either vmware-toolbox-cmd if it is supported or using the vmware-vdiskmanager command. Note that shrinking is per partition and that you really should wipe out the disk with zero’s in order to mark part of the disk as empty. Also note that you cannot shrink an encrypted disk, because the zero data is random data in that case.

Turn on suggestions. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. Instead, you need to rely on a command prompt utility. This will temporarily grow the size of the virtual disk to the maximum allowed size, so make sure to store it on a hard disk with sufficient space for this.

Also make sure to have enough time to complete it, as you should not interrupt it during shrinking or you risk permanent damage to your virtual machine making a backup before doing this is highly recommended regardless. This will run for quite a while, depending on the size of your virtual disk and the speed of the physical hard drive it resides on.

A rough estimate of needed time is probably something along the lines of the time it would take to write the maximum size of the virtual disk twice — so, for example, if your virtual machine is configured with a maximum hard disk of GB, expect the running time of this to be roughly the time it would take to write GB to the hard disk in question. If this is not the case, you may need to use the defragment and shrink options from the VMware Player GUI as well, but when I did it it automatically shrunk the disk file after the above command finished.

As a final note: if your guest operating system is Linux say, Ubuntu instead of Windows, the procedure is pretty much the same. So, to shrink the root file system you might call something like this:.
