ORACLE VIRTUALBOX STORAGE PROBLEM

Hello,

Does anyone ever use Virtualbox for their VM?

if so, do you guys experiencing the same as me such as when im already setting up maximum storage in Virtualbox setting which is 2TB, but when it already running long enough maybe around 2-3 months i try deleting data to free up my storage in Guest VM and i got around 900GB of free storage, but when im looking at the .VDI file in Host Storage it already consume up to 1.9TB.

Does anyone know how to free up .VDI because i cannot find the way through forums and reddit how to deal with it.

Thank you

Obviously, you need to fill your free space with zeroes. For Linux, you may use dd command. For other OS, I have no advice.
