27.09.2018 · Maybe Veeam somehow can't delete the file because it was still in use or something. I corrected my typo above, I mean't the .avhdx of course :-) If you can rename them then they are indeed not in use and you should be safe to clean them up.
Apr 18, 2017 · Leftover AVHDX Files after backup. Fairly new to Veeam and I do have an open case for this as well but was curious to see if anyone else has had this issue with Veeam BR. I had to run an active full the other day and since then noticed I started losing space on my shared cluster drive for my VM's.
24.12.2020 · Rather than merge all of these AVHDX files together and rebuild my VM (I have 6 ACHDX files per parent) would I be able to just shut down the VM and repoint Hyper-V to all of the VHDX files I have? Hyper-V is warning me of potential data loss, which I do not care about as this is a secondary SQL VM used to receive replications from our bare metal SQL server via a …

Wondering if there is anyway for me to recover/merge this avhdx and proceed with my backups again ? As always thanks for your help in advance guys Regards, Wen Jun.
Apr 28, 2021 · I started receiving warnings from Veeam about low disk space. I am attempting to resolve the warning by freeing up some disk space. It appears most of the disk space is being taken up by .avhdx files approximately 1GB in size, 6 per month, going back almost one year. Hyper-V manager does not show any open snapshots.
Feb 04, 2018 · This is a Server 2016 Hypervisor and single server 2016 guest VM. It looks like the backup software has been creating checkpoints that have failed to merge for about a week now. There are multiple .avhdx files for the VM in the file system but the Hyper-V UI shows no checkpoints exist.
Nov 11, 2012 · The Checkpoint it self is a differncing disk, therfore it can not be deleted using the GUI. The soloution in the end was to run the following powershell commands: Get-VMSnapshot -VMName vmwithcheckpoint.domain.com -ComputerName hyper-v.domain.com| fl - this returns the VM state. and to remove the checkpoint:
05.02.2020 · But when Veeam takes new backups, it creates new Files again, as it is normal, and it deletes now old Files in the SystemVHDx, but still not on the great Drive, with 2 TB. I would now sayed i just move that Storage one time too, as Workaround for that problem, but i have no Storage at home where i could migrate it, and the Filer is always Busy too and has to be High …
28.04.2021 · The avhd (x) doesn't get removed, but the server starts to run off of it from then on. This is typical when a host update occurs, the backup is running and somewhere it gets restarted due to the updates and the backups were not completed yet. The only way I can find now is to manually merge your excess avhd. files:
