| **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 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
