How to delete Ubuntu virtual desktop and free up allocated space in windows 8?

I have tried out Hyper-V for the first time to install Ubuntu desktop. During the installation process, 10GB of space is allocated. I believe this space would have been  created as a separate partition and formatted
to linux file system. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now I would like to remove the Ubuntu virtual desktop and free up the allocated space. I have deleted the desktop from the Hyper-V manager. Is this sufficient to free up the space?
Disk partition tool shows following partitions

I am not sure of the unnamed, unused volume. Hence I listed all.
However Diskpart tool in command prompt does not show the last one [ 8gb]. Does this mean if this was allocated
to Virtual desktop? Please help 

You must delete the VHDx that you created when you created the VM.
This is the virtual disk that Ubuntu was installed into - you will not see this as a volume, you will see this as a VHDx file.

    I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the  opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

    I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

  • How to delete all email attachments to free up space?

    I'm on a MBP with a 240 GB SSD. Somehow my Mail folder is 90 GB!
    I'd like to have an expert tell me how to go about deleting all of the attachments from my SSD so that I can free up space.
    My set up is several work email accounts, and one personal email account, on Mail.app, all IMAP via Google Apps and Gmail.
    I found this, and tried it, but only freed up 4 GB, which doesn't make sense to me???

    Thanks!

    Could you break this down for me more specifically?  Hit menu after I've gotten into my email?  I don't see delete in the menu (only the box to the left of the actual email itself).  Thanks for any help!!

  • How can u change the desktop and taskbar to a classic windows view

    how can u change the desktop and taskbar to a classic windows view in 8.1

    Hi,
    If you mean to customize the desktop, you can use themes, desktop backgrounds, window colors, and screen savers to personalize your desktop.   
    If you want some free themes and desktop backgrounds to use, there are lots to choose from in the
    Personalization Gallery.
    To learn more about personalizing the desktop, see
    Get started with themes.
    Best regards

  • I keep getting this message, I decided to delete whatever I can to free up some space. Then I get my few GBs I have left on the startup disk. Then after a day, I get the message again. I check the startup disk size and notice I have "zero kb" left. ??????

    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
    Another way to view avialable space:
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:  Available & Capacity
    Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • How can delete his backup safety and totally?

    My friends and I share a same time capsule ( 4th gen, 2TB), so if one day he leaves, how can delete his backup safety and totally?

    Thank you for your nice recommandation of this aritle.
    The reason I ask this question is becasue someome has a trouble when they want to delete the buckup directly to trash. They just can not clear the trash bin which make their Time Capsule capability still occupied by the trash file.
    And the aritle says we can delete the backup by Finder directly. Just confused.

  • Its saying startup disk almost full. have no music or photos on computer. how do i clear it up and free up the HD

    its saying startup disk almost full. have no music or photos on computer. how do i clear it up and free up the HD

    There are some items to the right of these reply boxes,
    of them a few are likely to be of help to some extent...
    Without knowing which OS X version, advice will be not specific
    and to answer three different ways when one of them is correct
    is a waste of time.
    Is your OS X newer than Lion 10.7.5? IF so different rules apply
    to finding out what is free space, where it is, & how to tell if it is.
    For systems older than Lion (Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, Panther)
    the rules are a little different, since there would not be an Other item
    on the hard disk drive which could contain items necessary to the OS
    yet not detailed to the user.
    And Lion 10.7 has a few hidden files that are hard to locate, and one
    of them may have some bearing on the missing space of a HDD.
    The items here, mostly for 10.7:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24954432#24954432
    start up disk full, other options:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11808734#11808734
    There are Support articles, you could use Help viewer in the
    system, on your computer, to look for results; or use google.
    However, avoid the temptation to use a badware such as cleanmymac,
    mackeeper, and others that are sources of known trouble to the Mac.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can validate the ASM size and free space correctly?

    Dears ,,
    I faced problem in ASM size as it appeared in alert file as below
    ORA-19504: failed to create file "+DG_DATA"
    ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DG_DATA
    ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
    So we resize ASM space and large it. But we faced the same problem also although there is free space in ASM.
    It seems that the shown free space is not real.
    How can validate the ASM size and free space correctly?
    Thanks & Regards,,

    I was having this problem. Im my case i couldn add datafiles to a tablespace despite the fact that i was having a lot of space in the asm. Try rebalancing. It might help. In my case rebalancing also didn work because it seems that there need to be a threshold space in all the disks for the rebalancing to happen which was not in my case, so i had to shrink some unused space in the tablespace and then after gaining the required space I rebalanced the disk and then the disks got rebalanced, also i was able to use the free space that was showing .
