10/23/2019, 3:31 PMNope. Gotta compact after the fact.

10/23/2019, 3:31 PMThat's what I thought.

10/23/2019, 3:31 PMThanks!

10/23/2019, 3:36 PMActually I am thinking about this wrong. The compact will shrink the actual size of the VHDX but files I delete will free up space inside the VHDX file. Won't change the size.

10/23/2019, 3:41 PMYep that changes the size/reduces it. I'm more thinking about the contents inside.

10/23/2019, 3:42 PMDeleting contents inside will clean up space, but not reduce the size.

10/23/2019, 3:42 PMYep. Which is comically... not very useful.

Jarian Gibson
10/23/2019, 3:44 PMYes and no. The VHDX will remain the same size, but space in it will be freed up. Depends on wha the goal is.

10/23/2019, 3:45 PMFor sanitizing the data inside of the container I think Aaron did some scripts

10/23/2019, 3:46 PMYep. I confused myself this morning. Overthinking something again.

10/23/2019, 3:47 PMI get that, but you can delete anything and everything to your heart's content and it'll never matter unless you compact that disk.

Jarian Gibson
10/23/2019, 3:49 PMAgreed. I'm more focused on space inside the disk. Not the overall size right now.
Jarian Gibson
10/23/2019, 3:52 PMTo clarify reclaim size of the actual VHDX file is offline/compact operation. Reclaiming space within the VHDX file/freeing up usable space is just a user deleting files for example.

10/23/2019, 3:58 PMDeleting files inside the container should free up the space and make it available for new profile data - for example deleting cached copies of OneDrive files. This space should become availabe inside of the container again, at least that’s my understanding.

10/23/2019, 4:03 PMYep agreed
