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

Merging is I/O heavy; ensure free space.
