How to have cleaning-up disk space in guest OS hard disk come up on host OS hard disk ?

Folks,

 

Hello. I am using VM Player 3. Host OS is Windows 7. Guset OS is Windows Server 2003.

Because host OS Windows 7 hard disk C is almost full, I need to clean up disk to get some disk space in Guset OS Windows Server 2003.

 

In Guest OS Windows Server 2003 VM settings Hard Disk:

Current Size 92.5GB,

Maximum Size 150GB.

 

I use disk clean tool to clean C:\Document and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\ and Temporary Internet Files\ to get 32GB disk space. Now, in Windows Server 2003 My Computer:

Used Space: 59.2GB

Free Space 86.2GB

Total Space 145GB

 

But when I check Windows Server 2003 VM Settings Hard Disk again, its current size remains 92.5GB and does not shrink to 59.2GB after clean up. Host OS Windows 7 hard disk does not come up more disk space after cleaning.

 

My VM Player VM->Settings doesn't have a "Shrink" function and program doesn't have "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" file to run "Shrink" function.

 

My question is:

How to have the about  32GB (92.5GB - 59.2GB) disk space come up on Windows Server 2003 VM settings hard disk and host OS Windows 7 hard disk ?

 

Thanks.
