Workstation pro 15 reclaim unused space

$

Hi Everyone,

 

Host PC - Windows 10

My vm - RHEL7

My host pc is running out of space so decided to delete unwanted stuffs in the vm. though i deleted significant amount of files. host space remains same. to reclaim the space i have to fill with 0s in vm drive.

I found out running this command will do the work.

cat /dev/zero > /zero.fill;sync;sleep 1;sync;rm -f /zero.fill

My question is, will this command affect my vm's snapshots? any other consequences ?

 

Thank You
