## Purpose
You may find that you cannot delete a VHDX file for a virtual machine you removed from Hyper-V and/or Hyper-V Failover Cluster, and either cannot afford to, or do not want to reboot your virtualization host(s) to unlock the file locked by `SYSTEM`.
Run the following commands to unlock the file and delete it:
```powershell
Dismount-VHD -Path "C:\Path\To\Disk.vhdx" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item -Path "C:\Path\To\Disk.vhdx" -Force
```
