MS Virtual PC 2007 - virtual hard disk

Recently I installed MS Virtual PC 2007 and had allocated about 65G of
virtual hard disk space on the virtual machine.

After having uninstalled it and deleted the virtual machine, I downloaded a
trial version of MS SQL Server 2005 (developer's edition; SQLEVAL.exe); the
installation wizard prompted me that I was running out of disk space from
the local hard disk (C.

Could the problem be related to MS Virtual PC?

RE: MS Virtual PC 2007 - virtual hard disk

Uninstalling Virtual PC will not remove the virtualizations and the harddrive
files they are using. You will need to remove them manually. The default path
for them are in the documents folder that you used to run virtual pc as and
"My Virtual Machines".

If you remove that folder you should free up some diskspace that was used by
your virtual pc machines.

I believe that was empty actually. The free space on the hard disk was
showing as having 45.4 G of free space (checked Logical Disk Manager), whilst
the setup program was still displaying the 'unsufficient disk space error
message'.
