Thanks in advance

Hello @MarcinSzych-2416 ,

You have increased size to 100 TB but how much actual data it was there in the disk?

I would suggest you to create one Hyper-V VM and attached it to secondary disk to this VM and you can cleanup the data and shrink it self from Disk management from that VM.

As its 100 TB of size it might take plenty of time to show and shrink size from Disk Management.
