shrinkvd is a command-line utility to shrink pre-allocated VMware virtual disk files according to a space reaaly occupied by partitions. Reduce in size a pre-allocated VMware virtual disk according to amount of space really occupied by partitions.

This utility shrinks a host file to match a really occupied space.

This Win32 command-line utility is intended to shrink a pre-allocated VMware virtual disk according to amount of space really occupied by partitions. If partitions are deleted and/or shrinked within a virtual disk, virtual disk file occupies more host disk space than is really needed. This utility shrinks a host file to match a really occupied space.

The utility can be useful to shring a disk after it was temporarily expanded. For example, 32-bit Windows Vista requires at least 15 Gb to install but occupy only 9-10 Gb after installation. Service Pack 2 for 64-bit Vista may require up to 35 Gb to install but system partition can be shrinked to 18-20 Gb later.
