I downloaded the VBox application (TOS 6.0.507). Created a Windows 11 virtual machine. But over time, I began to notice how the virtual machine file (.vdi) increases in size and does not decrease when deleting files on the virtual machine.
On the Internet, I found the SDelete utility with instructions on what to do. I performed the procedure in the virtual machine. But I encountered a problem running the procedure "vboxmanage modifymedium --compact /path/to/thedisk.vdi". In the SSH terminal (connection to TNAS), I get an error that "-bash: vboxmanage: command not found". As I understand, this is an incorrect command or it does not exist.
What should I do? How can I reduce the size of a virtual machine file with the "*.vdi" extension? Are there any instructions for use? Or tell me how to configure the virtual machine so that the file does not increase in size.
