How to restore space from virtual machines?

Asked By Carl E Flanagan 10 points N/A Posted on - 05/29/2015

I run virtual machines for various reasons and recently I was running windows XP on windows 7 dell laptop. I observed that the space on hard disk was too less and decided to clear some space. Now, I deleted multiple virtual machine images and I deleted also the folders containing them. The surprise fact was that even though I deleted multiple images and folders from my computer, the free space showing up didn’t increase. I was expecting some 30 to 40 GB of free space! I thought this might b a static issue and restarted my PC once. I still see no free space at al.what is happening? Why do my computer not able to recognise free space? At least, how to recover those images which I deleted?
