Default How to reduce unwanted space in VMWare

Hai,
I have installed VMWare Player in a dedicated parition in Windows which is of size 20GB... Im using a Debian Image for VMWare.. initally complete size of the folder where in all .vmdb file exists is of 14GB...
Now when I see the complete file system's is of size 17GB but in windows the complete folder is showing 20GB.. I think the VMWare is not removing the unused .vmdk files..
what should I do to optmize the disk space
Thanks in advance

Hi maheshgupta024!
I'd say, this isn't really a Linux question, but nevertheless, I'll answer.

There doesn't seem to be a built in method to archive your goal, but a little Google search gave me a few articles about resizing VMWare images. Does that help?

Greetings,
Nepomuk
