Question
Is it possible to reduce the size of a VM disk?
I have a 500 GB disk with 20 GB of occupation. I want to reduce the size to 100GB. The Azure Portal only allows you to increase. How can I reduce the size?
The VM has the UBUNTU operating system.

Yes you can shrink you VM size
- First, create a new Data disk from the Azure portal. Select 'Create disk' and follow the wizard to create a managed disk.
- Next, RDP to the VM in order to initialize the new disk. Go to Disk Management and assign a size and Drive letter for the new volume.
- Once the new volume is initialized, move the files from the source disk to the new volume. This can be done using the robocopy.
