how many ")"s can you find in:
q: hyper-v snapshots exist after shut down i'm running a virtual machine (hyper-v) on an windows server 2008 r2 64-bit machine.
i want to increase the hard drive size but the edit button is not enabled. the notice says "...snapshots exists for this virtual machine." i already shut the machine down (i logged in and clicked "shut down"), but it still gives me the same message.
any ideas?

a: yeah. delete the snapshot. just shutting a vm down will not magically make it forget the snapshots which were taken previously.
so, delete the snapshot tree. this will require the virtual machine to be off unless you are running hyper-v on server 2012. then, once this is done, you can expand it.

a: i noticed on hyper-v in windows 8.1 that hyper-v manager had to be restarted after deleting the checkpoints for edit vhd to be enabled.
