I just meant the standard windows disk cleanup. Once it deletes extra files, they are not seen by defrag so are immaterial. That is good enough. The bigger issue is the existing partitioning and no movable files and we deal with those at the fest.<br>

I've always used "eraser" (<a href="http://eraser.heidi.ie/" target="_blank">http://eraser.heidi.ie/</a>) to do the same thing. I zero out all the space on a VM and turned it into a sparse file so that it takes up hardly any space. I've even been known to put a VM that is bigger than the entire hosts hard drive using the same technique. Sounds like a bad idea, but I was tending to run the VM in immutable mode, so the VMs HD didn't get any bigger and was never in any danger of filling up the hosts hard drive, but it allowed me to have a generic VM that I could use as writable on some systems and that would leave me enough space to install software if I needed to.<br>

They might be talking about sdelete. I use it when prepping and<br>
condensing windows vm's for making templates or condensing/shrinking.<br>

We will look for her. If she wants to dual-boot<br>
with Windows, ask her to disk clean and defrag<br>
Windows before Saturday.<br>
