How can i delete merged snapshots Hyper-v

hello;

i've deleted snapshots of virtual machine don't need more, after deleting them , turn off vm merging process has begun , size of vhdٍx has became huge..

there way delete merged snapshots? claim disk space again.

if asking if can shrink size of .vhdx file after changes have been made, answer 'yes'.  within hyper-v management console select edit disk... action.  when virtual machine owns disk not running, select disk compacted , select compact action.

however, changes result in growth of .vhdx.  example, if log file written snapshot, when snapshot merged, log file on .vhdx.  cannot reclaim space until delete file.  nothing automatic things that.
