Cant find old .vmc or .vhd Virtual PC Images on Vista Business

Message:

I am having trouble location and deleting VPC files.

1. I upgraded a XP Pro machine to Vista Business, the XP pro version had a
CRM VPC demo installed.
2. I wanted to free up the disk space on the new Vista version, however I
cannot locate the VPC uninstall or image files to delete,

Can anyone refer me to the correct procedure for uninstalling/deleting the
..vmc and .vhd images on Vista Business.

TIA

I did a search for *.vhd and *.vmc , It found nothing. I did this with
Administrator, Vista does not use the My Documents or Documents and Settings
folders as in XP, so I dont know where the My Documents\My Virtual Machines
folder is in Vista.

Is my only option for freeying up the disk space used by the old VPC
instance to do a clean reinstall of Vista and reformat the Hard Drive?

thanks

It was not there, however I looked up these folders for all other users
registered and found the My Virtual Machines folder in
C:\Users\Administrator.000\Documents. I deleted this folder and a folder
named "CRM3.0 Image" , this solved my problem.

Thanks all

Graham, have you looked in C:\Users\yourname\Documents for the 'My Virtual
Machines' folder? That is where it should be if it had been 'brought in'
via the upgrade. Failing that, do you have a Windows.old folder on your C
drive? If so, it may be in there.
