Hello sir,

 

My name's Charan & i'm from India.

I own a HP pavillion P001tx.

 

Yesterday, I've created a virtual hard disk (.vhd) file using disk management window.. 

i named the vhd file as "chred" and allocated 200gb to it.. its located in my C drive.

 

Before this "chred.vhd" got created, i have 600gb of free space in my C drive out of 900gb..

Now, i got only 400gb left.. I actually dont need that "chred.vhd" file..

 

How can i delete it and get my 600gb free storage back?

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

It doesn't look like you actually mounted it, so all you have to do it delete the VHD file chred.vhd and the space will be available.  For more information about detaching and deleting virtual hard disks, see this article.
