duplicate vdi, is this expected?

Hi,
After loading my vbox and creating a guest XP system I noticed that my 160 GB hard drive was almost full. I created a guest system that was 60GB and allocated all of it. When I look at the .virtualbox directory I see a <my guest name>.vdi and when I look in the .virtualbox/harddisks and see the same .vdi there at 60GB. Is it expected that this occur? If so, anyone know how to reduce the guest size without totally reloading?
