Strictly speaking, that’s correct: You may be treating the drive as a secondary hard drive, but it can be removed and that can cause issues. Windows 10 thinks of these as external/temporary storage. Many low-resource computing devices expand their storage with SD or MMC cards. Many SSDs already compress data so you may not see much of a reduction. How effective either of these will be depends on the media you’re using. Note: If you have many branches of snapshots, deleting one of the parent snapshots may cause the virtual disk size increase.Disk compression is always an option, but most SSDs already use some form of compression, so this may not be as effective as on a hard drive, if at all. In most of the situations this will also reduce virtual machine size. If your VM has snapshots, open Snapshot Manager and remove the ones you no longer need. To automate the reclaim procedure you can enable Real-time Disk Optimization (TRIM) feature which is designed to compact the virtual hard disk automatically in the background while the virtual machine is running. If you do not reclaim disk space after freeing up space inside Windows, the VM size will remain the same.
