Compact VDI file on OSX

Post by cesco_visco »

Hello everyone,
how can I shrink the VDI file on OSX?
System Host: OSX
System Guest: Windows XP

The C: drive has grown too much and I need to compact it to reclaim space.

thanks in advance

Sorry for my bad english...

Search forum for "CloneVDI". On Linux it runs with WINE, i think for MacOS you must use DarWINE.

This is the best solution.

Another solution is reading the manual. Topics: VBoxManage, compact, sdelete.
