Remove-VMCheckpoint
CautionDelete/merge checkpoints
Remove-VMCheckpoint -VMName <vm> -Name <cp>
Deleting a checkpoint merges its avhdx into the parent — orphaned chains are the classic space-and-speed killer.
Examples
Get-VMCheckpoint -VMName web01List lingering checkpoints
Syntax
Get-VMCheckpoint -VMName vm / Remove-VMCheckpoint -VMName vm [-Name cp]
Before you run it
