You all must have too much time.
With CloneVDI you need 10 % of the time of the other approach. I use it under linux with WINE, it works perfectly for me.

sdelete -c, doesn't seem to work....
sdelete -z, doesn't seem to work....
at least in my virtual os (Windows XP SP3)....
nullfile creates a zeroed file, then delete....imagine a virtual 2TB vitual HD that grows until 2TB (really until it crash....) in your real HD when really you are doing this to save space....so nullfile is not a definitve solution....
sdelete and nullfile are VERY SLOW for big HD sizes.....not usables solutions
So, I have to try CloneVDI approach
