How to reduce hard disk with SCVMM, which uses a disk template?

SVCMM 2012 version

I have tried to reduce the size of a hard disk, I already made the reduction configuration within the operating system, but I want to shrink the virtual disk I cannot find the option within the SCVMM platform, adding after reviewing the disk configuration, I see a hard disk template, so far I have not found a way to remove the disk from the template, only the option to delete the template, I wanted to request your help to reduce the size of the disk of that VM.

Hello @MarioMartinez-0320,

Thank you for your question.

Please follow these steps, it will help you.

With VMM, you can select cluster shared volumes (CSVs) for placing a new VHD.

In earlier versions of VMM, by default a new VHD on a VM is placed on the same CSV where the earlier VHDs associated with the VM are placed. There was no option to choose a different CSV/ folder. In case of any problems related to the CSV, such as storage that's full or over commitment, users had to migrate the VHD, but only after they deployed the VHD.

With VMM 1807, you can now choose any location to place the new disc. You can manage this disc easily, based on the storage availability of CSVs.

For more information please go through this link:
