I have created several test VMs and moved a production VM away from a particular host machine.  the only remaining VM cannot start do to a lack of disk space.  there should be plenty, the problem is all of the old unused vhd files. But I cannot figure out how to delete them.  the Hyper-V Manager only allows me to select them.

I certainly have to be missing something simple.

There may be a way to do it from the hyper-v manager, but I could not find it.

instead I went to the host machine and used the command line to navigate to the directory and delete them.

That is the way.  You found it.

Just to add you must delete the VM first in the hyperV manager or the files are in use.
