I am helping a friend who is having an issue with her hyper-v server. She told me that it is out of space (1 gb of hard disk left). The server has two partitions (C and E) and C has 1 GB of disk space while E has 100gb. Her C drive was partitioned with 50 GB and the .vhd file is 18gb and she wants to move this file to her e drive. She has 35 GB of snapshots on the e drive and she think that she needs to delete these snap shots in order to move the .vhd file. The problem is the snap shots do not delete as they merge and you need additional space to delete the snapshots so she things that she can't delete them. She has not tried because she read that it could take very long to merge these files and this server can't be down very long.
Any ideas?
