Snapshot left behind on file system but not in Hyper-V Manager
hello,
i saw 1 thread this, i'm kind of looking different answer. month ago, migrated win2k3 vs2005 rs win2k8 sp2 hyper-v. have made sure read of documentation hyper-v understand doing. today, though, noticed strange snapshot on test vpc have.
i practicing migrating physical server virtual server , took snapshot of vpc. changed things, didn't , reverted snapshot. after turned vpc on , had been using while, satisfied changes , decided rid of snapshot. shut down machine , deleted snapshot, , after merge completed, no longer listed in hyper-v manager.
after deciding upon process wanted use p2v conversion, wanted try starting scratch new .vhd file. when went vpc settings , looked @ section virtual hard drive, noticed message saying had snapshots couldn't edit disk. thought pretty strange since had deleted snapshot! confirm, looked in hyper-v manager again , there no snapshots listed. however, when on file system, there .avhd file in snapshots directory , vpc's config file pointing snapshot. basically, though snapshot doesn't appear in hyper-v manager, config file still using snapshot , vpc appears running off of it.
does know happened or might have done wrong? moreover, since use snapshots on several of other test vpcs, raises question of whether or not happening on of those. can give.
