In this blog I’m discussing multiple options to use an Raspberry Pi 4 as a VMware Horizon View 8 Thin Client.

Reclaiming 51 GB from a Thin Provisioned VM In my experience it takes 15-30 min for a 80GB volume. Don’t worry when the output halts at “SDelete is set for 1 pass.” it will take some time. And it assumes that the machine has a D:\ disk where it can put the sDelete.exe file. The script now only deals with the C:\ disk (since that was the disk on my machines, but can be easily be adapted to work multiple disks. All without powering down the machine or the need for vmkfstools. It will vMotion the VM to the datastore with the largest free space available, push sDelete.exe to the machine, runs sDelete, vMotions the machine back to it’s original datastore. But I needed to do it for many VMs, so I wrote a script. There is a Knowledge Base article about this, and it explains exactly what to do. This is something that happens, if the disk has been written to, the VMDK inflates, when the files are deleted the VMDK may not shrink. The Guest OS reported 60 GB of an 80 GB volume being free, but the VMDK was 80GB is size. vMotion (explicitly choosing target type Thin didn’t help either. I came across some VMs that although being Thin Provisioned took up all the diskspace that they could.
