Bonjour, j'ai voulu essayer utilisé une VM sur HYPERV. Malheureusement je n'avais pas assez d'espace du coup j'ai supprimer les machines.

Néanmoins l'espace dans mon disque dur est encore occupé et je n'arrive pas a supprimer ce qui prend tout cet espace. d'ailleurs dans le dossier fichier temporaire il y a 20 go mais quand je clique il n'y a rien.

Comment je fais pour récupérer l'espace que j'ai utilisé pour la VM ?

    Hi Mric Deal ,
    I am sorry for the delayed response and thank you for your patience. 

    Since you have already identified and deleted the “Windows 11 environment” (~20 GB) virtual disk using Inspect Disk in Hyper‑V Manager, this confirms that the Hyper‑V VM itself has been successfully removed. 
    At this stage, the remaining ~20 GB reported under Temporary files is likely no longer related to Hyper‑V, but instead due to Windows system‑managed storage (for example, Volume Shadow Copies), which are not visible in File Explorer and may not be released immediately after large disk deletion. 
    For us to address the issue efficiently, could you please help proceed with the following troubleshooting actions: 

    Step 1 – Check shadow copy usage 

    Run the following command as Administrator and share the output: 

    vssadmin list shadowstorage   
    

    Step 2 – Scan disk usage using TreeSize (Administrator) 

    Next, please use TreeSize Free to analyze disk usage and check for any hidden or system‑level allocations: 

    Download and install TreeSize Free from: TreeSize Free - Download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store 

    Right‑click TreeSize Free and select Run as administrator 

    Select Drive C: and allow the scan to complete 

    Share a screenshot of the scan results 

    This will help us identify whether any hidden folders or system areas are consuming the space.
    Once these checks are completed, we can advise on the appropriate next steps. 

    T&B
    Titus Bui

    Bonjour, j'ai regardé dans le gestionnaire Hyper-V, en regardant "inspecter le disque" je suis tomber sur "environnement win 11" qui prennait 20 go a peu près que j'ai pu supprimer. Néanmoins dans mes fichiers temporaires il y a encore 20 go d'utilisé.

    J'ai essayer de regarder avec votre méthode néamoins je n'ai rien trouvé de concluant. Auriez vous d'autres suggestions ?

    Open File Explorer and navigate to: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\ or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\

    Look for .vhd or .vhdx files.

    Delete any files you no longer need.

    Open Device Manager and

    elect drive C: and click OK

    Click "Clean up system files"

    Check these boxes:

    Temporary files

    Delivery Optimization Files

    Windows Update Cleanup

    System error memory dump files

    Thumbnails

    Click OK

    Go to Settings → System → Storage

    Click Temporary files

    Check all relevant boxes and click Remove files

    Open Hyper-V Manager

    Check if any VMs still exist with snapshots

    Delete any remaining snapshots
