Situation: the client tries to delete the checkpoint because of depression spaces. Even so, he doesn't see delete checkpoint choice.

It should expect like this:

Troubleshooting:Try this first

  1. Correct-click the host server name in the Hyper-V Manager in the left-paw pane and select Refresh.
  2. Close and re-open the Hyper-V Director.
  3. Highlight the checkpoint and use the Delete key on the keyboard.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try powershell commands:

  1. Run PowerShell every bit admin.
  2. Blazon the following command and press Enter:
    Go-VMSnapshot -ComputerName<Name-of-Computer> -VMName<Name-of-VM> | Remove-VMSnapshot

Name-of-Computer is your host computer name.

Name-of-VM is the VM proper noun.

For case

Get-VMSnapshot-ComputerName "host01" -VMName "SQLServer01" | Remove-VMSnapshot

Another suggestion is highlight the Checkpoint, and press Delete key.

Or yous may endeavour to movement/export VM. After the move/export the VM, restart the moved VM without checkpoint.

I observe these resolution online:

If yous do not have enough disk infinite available, at that place are 3 options:

  • If y'all take Hyper-5 2012R2, you tin export the VM to another disk. It volition be exported as a merged VHD file. Later on, clear out the original VM and import the merged image.
  • Yous tin live drift the VM to another server that has ample disk space, complete the checkpoint merge, then movement it back. This will minimize downtime since you tin can live migrate and merge without having to turn off the VM if you accept Hyper-V server 2012 R2.
  • Yous can move the VM to some other book, such as a USB drive, complete the merge, them move it back again.
