Clean up a Virtual Machine
You can perform a manual or automated cleanup of certain virtual machines to free up space on
your Mac. The cleanup compacts and defragments the virtual machine.
When you delete files from your virtual machine, Fusion does not return the space to your Mac.
Cleaning up the virtual machine performs the following operations.
n Compacts the virtual machine and returns freed space to your Mac.
Note Only Windows virtual machines return freed space to your Mac.
n Defragments the virtual machine.
n Consolidates any unconsolidated snapshot files left on the virtual machine. Unconsolidated
snapshot files can be left on the virtual machine when manually deleting a snapshot fails.
Disk cleanup is not supported in the following situations.
n The virtual hard disk uses a FAT32, FAT, or exFAT file system.
n The virtual hard disk uses a preallocated disk format.
Prerequisites
To perform a manual cleanup, shut down or power off the virtual machine. You cannot perform
the manual cleanup while the virtual machine is powered on or suspended.
